Various embodiments of the present invention are directed to an
electronic-device interface integrated into an electric stringed musical
instrument. The electronic-device interface can be used for
interconnecting an electric stringed musical instrument to an electronic
device. In one embodiment of the present invention, an electronic-device
interface includes a universal-serial-bus interface, a
tip-ring-ring-sleeve output jack, and an enhanced
electric-stringed-musical-instrument cable with a tip-ring-ring-sleeve
connection at a first end and a universal-serial-bus connection at a
second end. When an electric stringed musical instrument is equipped with
an electronic-device interface, a user may insert the first end of the
enhanced electric-stringed-musical-instrument cable into the
tip-ring-ring-sleeve output jack and the second end of the enhanced
electric-stringed-musical-instrument cable into a universal-serial-bus
port for an electronic device. The user may then input music to the
electronic device by playing music on the electric stringed musical
instrument.
