ABSTRACT:
A bearing system for a floating bridge tremolo device where a bearing surface carried by the guitar and a rocker surface carried by the bridge cooperate to provide a smooth rolling action, the intersection of the bearing and rocker surfaces with an imaginary plane through a point of contact between the surfaces yielding a straight line in the case of the bearing surface and a smooth continuous curve in the case of the rocker surface, this configuration giving the result that resistance to rocking is minimized.
