ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and method of tuning a string instruments such as electric guitars which is commonly provided with a solid body structure and a fretboard, wherein the tuning apparatus includes an adjustable bridge in which there is provided a plurality of adjustable saddle bridge members secured to the body of the guitar, and a nut having a plurality of adjustable nut saddle members mounted at the distal end of the fretboard adjacent the tension mechanism to which the strings are attached. The adjustment of the bridge saddle members establishes a true intonation of each string with respect to the twelfth fret and all of the intervals between the twelfth fret and the bridge. The nut saddle members are adjusted to establish a true intonation of each string with respect to the first fret and the intervening intervals between the first fret and the twelfth fret. The adjustment of both the bridge and the nut determines the length of each string and the longitudinal position of each string over the twelfth and first fret, whereby each string throughout its length is arranged so as to have a substantially "zero" cent condition.
