ABSTRACT:
A guitar includes a body, a headstock, and a neck disposed between the body and headstock. There is a tremolo on the body and a tremolo anchoring system attached to the body. A spring is operatively associated with the tremolo and with the tremolo anchoring system for biasing the tremolo for tensioning a string extending between the tremolo and the headstock. A tremolo-level-adjustment member operatively associated with the spring variably fixedly tensions the spring for variably biasing the tremolo for variably tensioning a string extending between the tremolo and the headstock. The tremolo-level-adjustment member includes a pair of nuts, which nuts are spaced apart from each other, and each of which nut is movable relative to the body for variably fixedly tensioning the spring. There is likewise a fastener for use with the present guitar and with existing guitars.
