Abstract

See full text

Embodiments of a quick-release sustain block, and associated guitar tremolo assembly and method, are disclosed. The sustain block extends along a main axis from a distal end to a proximal end. The proximal end is affixable to a bridge plate of the tremolo assembly. Linearly straight string retention bores extend through the sustain block in parallel with the main axis, and have a ball capture segment and a string housing segment. Each ball capture segment is located between the string housing segment and distal end. The string retention bores have a ball detent defined between the ball capture segment and string housing segment. The string retention bores are in communication with a respective string transfer slot laterally thereof. The forward face of the sustain block is configured to be oriented toward a headstock of a guitar when the bridge plate is in pivotable engagement with the guitar.
