A guitar bridge assembly is provided for use in creating sound effects of the general nature known as "note bending", vibrato or chord changing by causing an increase or decrease in the tension in the guitar strings (6). The bridge assembly is used in combination with an integrated or separate set of intonation supports and comprises a movable anchor unit (11) providing an anchoring formation (13), for a free end of each string of an associated guitar. The anchor unit is rotatable or swivelable about an axis transverse to the direction in which strings of an associated guitar extend by means of an operating member (16). The anchor unit has individual adjustment means (14, 15) for cooperation with each guitar string to enable independent adjustment to be made of the amount of change in tension in an associated guitar string that is created by a particular extent of movement of the operating member. |
