ABSTRACT:
A tremolo mechanism is arranged on the body of an electric guitar and is constituted by a tremolo arm, a bridge base, and plural bridge saddles, wherein the bridge base has a roughly T-shape constituted by a plate that is arranged above the exterior surface of the body, and a string stopper that is received in a hollow space of the body. Herein, the bridge saddles are arranged on the upper surface of the plate that is curved approximately in a convex shape whose curvature substantially matches the curvature of a fingerboard of a neck curved in the width direction. In addition, the bridge saddles are interconnected with the bridge base by octave adjustment screws, which are arranged beneath the plate using a prescribed attachment portion arranged inside of the hollow space of the body.
