Abstract
An acoustic guitar is combined with a cassette tape player carried inside of the body of the guitar and arranged for playing recorded music simultaneously with live music being played on the guitar by a musician. Necessary switches, wiring, and power supplies are also included. In one version of the assembly all components are carried inside or on the surface of the guitar so as to provide a self-contained assembly. Another version includes an external, large amplifier/speaker located away from the guitar but interconnected with controls and a pickup device on the guitar.
