Intonation system for stringed instruments

摘要

An intonation system for a stringed musical instrument and a stringed instrument including the intonation system. An instrument such as a guitar includes a bridge having bridge string saddles that can be adjusted separately to raise or lower a single string and to adjust the position of the bridge end of the vibrating length of the string. The instrument also includes a nut having nut string saddles that are adjustable individually to adjust the position of the nut end of the string. The structures by which the string saddle positions are adjusted are substantially concealed, largely retaining a conventional appearance of the musical instrument.
