The present invention teaches an electro-acoustic guitar having an
isolated resonant soundboard with or without an integrated transducer
attached to the soundboard. The soundboard/transducer assembly fits into
an aperture of the guitar body frame and has structure allowing it to be
adjusted in multiple axes to provide the best playing action. The
soundboard may also be interchangeable with other soundboards to further
alter sound quality. String vibration energy is conducted by an
acoustically pure bridge to the soundboard/transducer assembly. The large
magnetic transducer is integrated by having one portion, a magnet
structure, secured to a magnet support and another portion, the voice
coil and mounting hub, secured to the soundboard spaced and opposed above
the magnet support thus creating a truly integrated electro-mechanical
soundboard transducer assembly with tonal qualities modified by an
internal chamber defined by the space between the soundboard and the
magnet structure support.
