In the first case, the “guitar core” between the bridge and the top of the 22-fret, 25.5-inch maple neck with a Mexican ebony fingerboard is simply pushed out from under the strings and replaced with another one with a 12-pin magnetic connector. It connects to the on-board electronics automatically.
