ABSTRACT:
A player's finger rest for the body of a guitar, or the like, includes a slide having a slideway oriented generally along the length of the strings, and a pivotable finger lever supported on a pivot shaft which is movable along the slideway, whereby the finger lever may be moved to a desired position along the slideway and may be pivoted to a desired orientation with respect to the slideway. A nut is tightened down over the pivotable finger support and presses the finger support against a resilient washer which is pressed against the slide. This locks the finger support against being movable along the slideway and also prevents pivoting of the finger support. However, sufficient pressure applied to the finger support will overcome the inhibition to pivoting of the finger support which is normally provided by the resilient element.
