Abstract
An integral saddle and bridge for stringed musical instruments, such as the electric guitar, having a bridge piece comprised of a bar with a slot formed in the top to receive a saddle piece. By pressure or adhesive the bridge and saddle are made solid and therefore, and by their materials, acoustically superior. The bridge is formed to mate with common mountings and the saddle is carved to achieve intonation.
