ABSTRACT:
My device applies to acoustic guitars which have bridges glued to the guitar top. My device securely joins the bridge to the guitar top. Sometimes the tension of the strings pulling on the bridge separates it from the guitar top. My device attacks this problem by using a cross member support bar, which bears upon braces glued to the underside of the guitar top. Screws or other fasteners, threaded through the cross member support bar, guitar top, and bridge, joins them securely. The cross member support bar and fasteners may be installed during the original manufacturing process or added later after the musician has dislodged or separated the bridge partially or wholly from the guitar top. The effect of the cross member support bar, fastened to the bridge in the above manner, is to improve the sound of acoustic guitars.
