Abstract
An adjustable bridge for a stringed instrument has a saddle housing defining a plurality of saddle slots and a saddle disposed within each saddle slot. Each saddle is axially adjustable within a saddle slot parallel to its instrument string and is firmly retained within a saddle slot by friction and/or by a tautly drawn instrument string disposed across the saddle. The adjustable bridge employs no springs, set screws, detents, removable screws or other removable fasteners.
