<p>A tremolo plate (15) is pivotally mounted on the body of an electric guitar, so that operation of a tremolo arm (36) creates a tremolo action relative to the guitar strings (22). Mounted on the tremolo plate are a plurality of bridge saddles having shanks (20) and heads (21), each saddle receiving one of the guitar strings (22). The saddles are adjustably mounted on the plate (15) for adjustment by screws (18) longitudinally of strings (22), and by screws (23) vertically of the plate (15). Extending laterally from each saddle shank (20) are two horizontal members (30, 31), the former having a guitar string (22) extended beneath it and the latter having the string extended above it. Thus, the string (22) is caused to follow through such a path, before its ball-end is seated in plate (15), that the string will not lift off of head (21) even when the plate is pivoted upwardly to an extreme position in response to operation of handle (36). Member (31) insures against twisting of the saddle.</p> |
