Claim 30:
31. A tuner as defined in claim 1, in combination with a guitar comprising a neck having a proximal end and a distal end, a string nut mounted on the neck proximal to the distal end thereof and including a plurality of slots laterally spaced relative to each other, wherein each nut slot is configured to receive a respective guitar string, the neck defines a distal neck-material protrusion extending between the string nut and the distal and of the neck, the distal neck-material protrusion defines a face extending between the string nut and the distal end of the neck configured to receive the tuner mount seated on and fixedly secured thereto, and the distal neck-material protrusion defines a length that is sufficiently short to prevent the installation or operation of traditional through-mounted-string tuning mechanisms thereon.
