Abstract:
An intonation system for a stringed musical instrument, a stringed instrument including the intonation system, and a method of setting up a stringed instrument. An instrument such as a guitar includes a bridge having bridge string saddles that can be adjusted separately to raise or lower a single string and to adjust the position of the bridge end of the vibrating length of the string. The instrument also includes an adjustable nut assembly by which to adjust the position of the nut end of each string individually. The structures by which the string saddle positions are adjusted are substantially concealed, largely retaining a conventional appearance of the musical instrument.

Claim (Index 1):
An intonation system for a multi-stringed musical instrument having a bridge mounted on a tone body and a neck extending away from the tone body and having a length, a width, and an outer end, comprising:\n (a) a slotted bracket mounted at the outer end of the neck, the slotted bracket defining a plurality of slots, each establishing a respective position with respect to the width of the neck for one of a plurality of strings; and (b) a plurality of string bearers each including a string-bearing transverse ridge and an adjustment mechanism arranged to interact with the neck to keep each string bearer in a selected position of adjustment in a direction parallel with the length of the neck and within a range of potential positions with respect to the outer end of the neck, each string bearer thus establishing a nut end of a vibrating length of a respective one of the strings.
