ABSTRACT:
A guitar bridge includes bridge plate having a slot-shaped aperture formed therein. A saddle holder attached to an upper surface of said bridge plate supports a post-shaped saddle. A sustain block having a bore formed therethrough is joined to said bridge plate in a position that aligns the bore with the slot shaped aperture. The guitar bridge is configured to support a guitar string such that a string anchor passes through the bore of the sustain block and rests against the bridge plate without the guitar string contacting any surface of the bridge plate or the saddle holder.
