ABSTRACT:
A bridge mechanism for an acoustic guitar for fine adjustment of the height and length of the strings. The bridge mechanism is installed on a thin installation plate that is wider laterally than the width occupied by the array of guitar strings. The installation plate is installed directly on the surface of the soundboard. The installation plate has a plurality of string stopper holes and has a concave region on its top surface. A base plate has a plurality of screw holders and is fixed in the concave region. The base plate is arranged in such a way as to correspond to the guitar strings, but does not overlap with the guitar strings. Bridge members are arranged individually and independently for each guitar string. Each has a string holder and each is freely movable back and forth via a string length adjusting screw. The bridge members are also freely movable up and down through a string height adjusting screw. A respective fixing pin fixes each guitar string in a string stopper hole.
