ABSTRACT:
A tremolo for a multiple stringed musical instrument such as guitar is provided having independently movable plates each of which support one or more guitar strings. A sliding clip may be provided which engages adjacent plates and may be used to selectively provide a tremolo effect simultaneously on all of the strings of the instrument or on a portion of the strings. A tremolo arm is provided for each plate so that when the plates are disengaged, each plate may be independently operated to produce a tremolo effect on a portion of the strings of the instrument. A spring operated tremolo return apparatus is provided for maintaining the tremolo in a neutral position. Saddles which engage with the plates of the tremolo are provided which facilitate rapid string changes.
