ABSTRACT:
An apparatus by which both tremolo action and string clamping and string intonation adjustment are achieved effectively and in a very small space. Adjustment screw shanks are threaded into bores in the inertia bar or block of the tremolo, and bear against the heads of pull screws that are connected to string-clamping saddles. The heads of the pull screws are received in recesses in the inertia bar; the inertia bar is connected to the bridge plate by several screws that do not interfere with the screw shanks. To adjust intonation, the bridge plate is pivoted upwardly and a wrench is employed to rotate the screw shanks, which in turn bear against the heads of the pull screws. Furthermore, the pull screws are rotated to release positions while the bridge plate is in its upwardly-pivoted position. After intonation is adjusted, the pull screws are rotated to lock the saddles in their desired positions.
