Abstract
A calibrated vibrato for use with a stringed musical instrument that allows pitch change, while keeping the instrument in tune. The calibrated vibrato uses pre-set string guides with particular offsets and heights for specific types of strings. The calibrated vibrato can be used with the disclosed locking nut, adjustable spring and adjustable saddles. The locking nut provides lateral force on the strings and an interlocking design between blocks. The interlocking blocks allow the locking nut to be unscrewed, while reducing the change of accidentally having the end block fall off.
