ABSTRACT:
The invention pertains to improvements in stringed instruments, and particularly relates to the string supporting apparatus for guitars, such as the bridge system. A plurality of string rests are located within the bridge slot, and the rests are provided with an upper obliquely oriented surface having string receiving notches therein whereby the height of the string above the guitar neck may be adjusted. Further, the upper portion of the string rest may be offset from its base region wherein the location of rest engagement with the string may be adjusted to selectively lengthen or shorten the string. Further, a string rest adapted to be located adjacent the guitar neck nut is disclosed whereby the string height may be varied, and the string length adjusted. A further feature of the invention pertains to the internal bracing of the guitar front and rear panels.
