I'm not in the US!!!
Hey pal! I only took a drawing to "Intellectual Property", payed a fee, completed a form and that's it... only a morning wasted.
I didn't "Patented" as callled in the US, just put in official records that I made a device for a certain application.
Let me tell ya: with that, I make sure no one can take our Shitar and sell it in stores, I protected a concept from being stealed and exploited, so there's no legal permission here for anyone to comercialize it without my authorization.
So, I did it for two reasons:
1) It's a small shitty piece of nothing, but hey! I don't want anyone to make a profit out of this (if someone actually finds this home made "nothing" profitable).
2) I never did anything real good with my life, anything I could share with people who loves music as much as I do, so I wanted to make "legal" that I sort-of-invented a concept or a technique or whatever it is, so one day I could have a story to tell to my kids: " hey, you see that? I know the guy who built it for the first time..."
Is that wrong?
Fangar, my friend I didn't "patented" it as a trademark or anything, just presented a form telling what my project was about. If none registered yet, then it will be protected. If registered, they will send me a "rejected" note to my home.
Sorry for the mispronouncing, I don't know how you will call in the States the "patent" I'm talking about...
Peace...

If anyone wants to build it and use it, that would be great! That is what I made it for and why I shared with you guys.
I don't want it to be sold (If anyone is crazy enough to think it's worth it...)!
That sounds great. I will write something with it and then post it. May take a while though. I used to screw around with stuff like this. You did a great job on the technique too, with your examples. Made me want to eat some curry.
