ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and method are provided for coupling strings to the body of a musical instrument and adjusting such strings. In one embodiment, a base is provided and one or more adjustment assemblies are disposed on a surface of the base including a first structure disposed on the surface of the base and a second structure which is slidably interlocked with the first structure. A first adjustment screw may be disposed between a portion of the base and the first structure such that rotation thereof effects displacement of the first structure and the second structure along a first axis relative to the base. A second adjustment screw may be disposed between the first and second structures such that rotation thereof effects displacement of the second structure along a second axis relative to the first structure. A clamping mechanism is provided to affirmatively lock the one or more adjustment assemblies relative to the base.
