ABSTRACT:
A stringed musical instrument of the guitar type has a plurality of strings which extend from tuning devices on a head portion, along a neck portion, to a body portion of the instrument. A string support includes a base which extends beneath the strings. A plurality of spheres have lower segments which are disposed in apertures in the base. The base is positioned in a groove with centers of curvature of the spheres in a plane which contains a flat front side surface of the groove. Positioning members engage the bottom of the groove to locate the base relative to the groove. The base can be resiliently deflected to have a curvature which is the same as the curvature of an upper side surface of the neck portion of the guitar. To facilitate deflection of the base, slots are formed part way through the base. To enable the position of the base to be adjusted relative to the groove when the base is in the groove, the positioning members are accessible from an upper side of the base.
