ABSTRACT:
An improved saddle assembly for a guitar having a vibrato bridge assembly is disclosed. The improved saddle assembly has two parallel legs joined by a shoulder portion, one of the legs being longer than the other and the shoulder portion being provided with opposing string support grooves. The radius of curvature of the support grooves is larger than the radius of the largest guitar string, and the sides of the support groove are flared. The saddle assembly is reversible for positioning on the guitar so that the longer saddle assembly leg is closer to the centerline of the guitar neck, thereby providing a centering action and sustaining the guitar string upon flatting.
