Abstract

See full text

A guitar string bender bridge mount couples to a guitar bridge through an existing bridge string mount. The bridge mount has a side wall and a slot in and extending to an edge of the side wall. A mounting screw couples into a standard hole on a guitar bridge and is rotatable to adjust the tuning of at least one of the guitar strings. A saddle lever is supported by the bridge mount and is pivotal through a limited arc, limited by low and high stops. The saddle lever is selectively and manually removable from the bridge mount. A string attachment receives and retains a first end of a guitar string. A body wraps about the axis of rotation and is partially wrapped by the guitar string, and the pivoting varies an extent of wrap about the body, to thereby vary a tension upon the guitar string.
