ABSTRACT:
A compensator system for a stringed instrument is disclosed. The system includes a plurality of compensator blocks selectively positionable on the fretboard of a stringed instrument between its transverse projections. The compensator blocks extend upwardly in contact with the strings of the instrument. The blocks have a generally rectangular lower planar surface of a first length and first width and an upper planar surface of a second length and a second width. The width of the upper surface of the blocks is less than the width of the lower surface of the blocks thus forming tapered side walls between the upper and lower surfaces to form a trapezoidally-shaped cross-sectional configuration. The length of the lower surface of each block is essentially equal to the length of the fretboard between adjacent projections of the instrument.
