A saddle for a multi-stringed instrument couples to transducer elements, vibrations from plucked musical instruments strings. The saddle includes a top saddle portion, and a body portion beneath the top saddle portion having a plurality of integral cavities, each integral cavity in correspondence with a respective string defining a vertically compliant area of sensitivity beneath each string that couple the string vibrations to a flexurally responsive transducer element mounted within and mechanically coupled to a respective integral cavity. A first ground conductor is formed on a top body portion surface and on each opposing surface of the body portion; and a second conductor is embedded within the body portion. The first conductor and embedded second conductor have respective portions extending to each the integral cavity structure to provide electrical coupling points for electrically connecting the transducer element to the first and second conductors at each respective the integral cavity structure.
