ABSTRACT:
A bridge for string instruments, particularly for guitars, including base guitars, serves for adjustably fastening the strings of the instrument to the instrument body. The bridge has a base body and a bearing cylinder for each string. The bearing cylinder extends perpendicularly to the string axis and is rotatably mounted for adjusting the height of the string. Each bearing cylinder has a string throughbore extending perpendicularly to the cylinder axis and in alignment with a throughbore in the base body. An intonation tube, through which the corresponding string extends, is provided in each string throughbore, so as to be adjustable in axial direction of the intonation tube. An adjustment of the intonation tube in axial direction of the string throughbore results in an adjustment of the length of the string. A rotation of the bearing cylinder results in an adjustment of the height of the string.
