A stringed instrument, such as a guitar, is provided. The stringed instrument includes a body, a fretboard mounted on the body, a nut mounted on the body on one side of the fretboard, and a bridge mounted on the body at an opposing side of the fretboard. The bridge includes a plurality of bridge critical contact surfaces each arranged at a selectively adjustable distance from the nut. The instrument also includes a plurality of strings arranged in contact with the nut and corresponding bridge critical contact surfaces. The strings are placed in tension so that desired tones may be obtained upon playing of the instrument. The bridge includes a tuning mechanism for obtaining at least harmonic tuning of the strings by causing pivotable movement of the bridge critical contact surfaces so that a desired distance between the bridge critical contact surfaces and the nut is obtained.
