Guitorgan

Guitar Organ or GuitOrgan is a type of electric guitar which allows the player to activate an electronic organ at the same time the guitar is played. On this type of instrument, each guitar fret is separated into six segments, creating independent contact switches for each string that are activated by touching the string to the frets to produce the organ sounds. A foot pedal is used to manipulate the organ's volume in and out, allowing the player to produce guitar sounds only by traditional strumming or plucking the strings, organ sounds only by tapping the strings, or a blend of the two.

The instrument was developed by Jennings Musical Industry (Dartford, Kent, UK) as Vox Guitar Organ by 1965 at the latest. A similar instrument was developed by Murrell Electronics (Waco, Texas) as the GuitOrgan, circa 1967.
