ABSTRACT:
A string tension adjustment device for electric guitars, and particularly for use in conjunction with guitars having a bolt-on neck. The string tension adjustment device includes a body which holds the mechanism for applying the additional tension to a guitar string and the body is attached to a traditional guitar with bolt-on neck by removing the bolts that connect the neck to the body of the guitar, placing the body of the string tension adjustment device so that holes passing through it are in registry with the holes that receive the bolts for attaching the neck of the guitar to the body of the guitar and reassembling the entire mechanism by the bolts passing through the existing holes so that there is no necessity of impairing the integrity of the instrument. The string tension adjustment device itself includes an actuator which is pivotally mounted and includes a pull arm to which a shoulder strap is attached so that when the guitarist desires to activate the string tension adjustment device, he simply presses down on the neck of the guitar to pull the pull arm which in turn pulls a linkage mechanism that pulls or "bends" the desired string of the guitar.
