Rockin’ Patent – Alex Grerory’s “Seven String Electric Guitar”

August 11, 2023

Rockin’ Patent^®: US Patent No. 5,113,737
Filed: 31 December 1990
In the name of: Alex Grerory
Title: Seven Stringed Electric Guitar
What’s claimed:“A neck for use in a seven-string guitar, said neck having a scale length of 25 1/2 inch, a nut and 24 frets mounted thereon, said neck having a width of substantially 1 7/8 inch at said nut and a width of 2 21/32 inch at a 24th fret from said nut.”
Why this patent rocks:This rockin’ patent relates to a seven stringed electric guitar, which seeks to provide a wider range of notes and greater sustain in higher notes than a six stringed electric guitar, making it apparently more suitable for classical music. An extra finger may be required to play it.
