ABSTRACT:
A string instrument, such as a guitar or banjo for example, mounts the bridge organization defined by an elongate planar body plate orthogonally mounted to an upper planar surface of the string instrument body, and includes a support plate fixedly mounted to the bridge at an orthogonal relationship relative to the planar bridge body. A modification of the invention includes the support plate pivotally mounted, with a top surface including an abrasive plate and a bottom surface including a wax bar for providing enhanced sensitivity for increased lubricity to an individual's fingers. A further modification of an aspect of the invention includes a unitary construction that is interfitted to the bridge organization prior to its mounting to the top surface of the string instrument body.
