Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/1998/045832
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
A part constituting a bridge of an electric guitar or an electric bass guitar which demands high levels of sound quality, tone and sustain, and more particularly a saddle receiving the vibrations of strings directly, acting as a fulcrum for the vibrations, and requiring a corrosion resistance and an abrasion resistance. To meet these demands, a titanium material having high corrosion resistance and abrasion resistance and excellent acoustic characteristics is subjected to plastic working and cutting work, and molded to have such a shape that permits the resultant product to be set on an existing bridge. The figure shows a bridge called a TUNE-O-MATIC style bridge. A player removes an adjusting screw (2) fixed to a saddle (1), and replaces the saddle by a titanium saddle, whereby he can provide an excellent sound quality, tone and sustain, and solve the problems concerning the corrosion and abrasion of a saddle.
