<p>A combined bridge and vibrato tailpiece assembly for a guitar has a tailpiece member (24) which is manually rotated to produce a vibrato effect. A tailpiece block (2) is secured to the guitar body and tailpiece member (24) is rotatably connected to tailpiece block (2) for rotation about an axis parallel with and eccentrically offset from the longitudinal axis of tailpiece member (24) to provide a camming action. Adjustable string attachment devices (52) are connected with tailpiece member (24) and to the ends of theguitar strings which biases tailpiece member (24) in one rotational direction. A plurality of adjustable saddle rollers (108) are connected with tailpiece block (2) and act as a bridge. Tailpiece member (24) is biased by springs (86) in the other direction of rotation, and at least one lever (34) connected with tailpiece member (24) for rotating it relative to tailpiece block (2) to produce the vibrato effect. </p> |
