Abstract
A stringed instrument, such as a guitar is provided. The stringed instrument may include a tuning system in which harmonic and pitch tuning are simultaneously obtained. A bridge assembly is provided on the stringed instrument which includes a force conversion assembly capable of converting nonlongitudinal forces into longitudinal forces such that selective adjustment of a tuning knob or similar control by a user results in slidable movement of saddle members.
