A fine tuning mechanism in a tremolo unit of an electric guitar which includes a body section having a horizontal portion and a vertical portion rising from a rear end side of the horizontal portion and formed in an L-like shape, and a block section extending downward from the horizontal portion of the body section. The horizontal portion has a bridge saddle held thereon, a slider is held on the bridge saddle and is slidable in a longitudinal direction and a fine tuning screw is provided for sliding the slider in the longitudinal direction.
