ABSTRACT:
A full-dumping tremolo guitar is provided with a recess extending only part way through the body of the guitar, in which recess are located the springs for balancing the pivotable bridge against the string tension. The screws for adjusting the spring tension are accessible from the front of the guitar when the bridge is pivoted upwardly, in the direction to loosen the strings. The bridge and its supporting structure are readily removable from their connection to the springs in the recess, for adjustment or replacement, and the top bridge itself is readily removable from its supporting structure for replacement purposes. The construction is such that relatively long springs can be used with a relatively short recess. The smooth, undisturbed surface of the back of the guitar contributes to the appearance and tonal quality of the guitar. The base pick-up preferably overlies a portion of the same recess which contains the springs.
