Abstract:
1. A string attachment bracket for a vibrato device having a string bar with string pins mounted to a guitar with a plurality of strings, comprising: a shaped plate having distal and proximal ends, the proximal end having a concave form to wrap, at least partially, around the string bar to reach the string pins, the distal end positioned for enabling quick string connections thereto; one or more apertures through the proximal end adapted for receiving the string pins; and a plurality of slots, the plurality equal to or greater than the number of strings, through the distal end adapted for slidingly receiving each string in a slot and capturing a bulbous end of the string therein; whereas, with the strings connected in the slots and the string pins in the apertures and with string tension applied at the distal end to bias the proximal end against the string bar acting as a fulcrum, the string attachment bracket anchors the strings for operational purposes.
