ABSTRACT:
A vibrato device for guitars which is easily omnidirectionally adjustable by a clamp screw and a pivot screw concentric therewith, both conveniently accessible from the rear of the device, and by elevation screws mounted in the string-supporting saddles and conveniently accessible from the top of the device. The brass saddles are provided with a steel block insert for improved resonance and damping, and the control lever can be conveniently either locked in one position, or allowed to swing freely, at any time during play. The device is provided with self-centering straight knife-edge bridge pivots. The free ends of the strings are clamped to the bottom of a steel sustain block depending from the bridge of the device, and the clamp screws for both the strings and the lateral saddle position adjustment are turnable with coins.
