ABSTRACT:
A guitar pickup structure includes pickup elements which are arranged below the lower surface of a guitar string saddle that is provided on a guitar bridge. The bridge is installed on the top surface of the guitar. Vibrations of the strings are transmitted to the pickup elements through the saddle, for generating amplified sounds by means of the electric signals. Two vibration transmitting bars run through the bridge and the top surface of the guitar body and contact the lower side of the saddle. A pickup member, having two pickup elements which correspond to and engage the two vibration transmitting bars, is arranged beneath the guitar body top surface. The pickup member is fixed by means of an installation member or bolt arranged on the guitar bridge below the saddle.
