ABSTRACT:
A bridge assembly for a guitar in which a saddle is mounted on the body of the guitar for contact with the strings extending longitudinally above the body of the guitar for holding the strings above the body of the guitar under tension and producing a double change in angle of the strings on the saddle. The saddle has a fulcrum end supported on the guitar from which an inclined lever portion extends at an acute angle with respect to the body of the guitar and has a free end on which the string passes and applies force to the saddle. The inclined lever portion defines a tapered space with the body of the guitar so that the applied double force of the string is transmitted via the inclined lever portion to its fulcrum end forwardly at the acute angle. For bass strings, the saddle can be formed with multiple angularly spaced legs and for treble strings with a solid, triangular cross section.
