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 10):
A stringed musical instrument including an intonation adjustment system, the musical instrument comprising:\n (a) a body; (b) a neck extending from the body; (c) a fingerboard extending along the neck and having an outer end; (d) a bridge mounted on the body; (e) a nut assembly located at the outer end of the fingerboard; and (f) a plurality of strings extending from the bridge and along the fingerboard to the nut assembly; and wherein (g) the nut assembly includes a plurality of string bearers each having a string-bearing transverse ridge and including an adjustment mechanism arranged to interact with the neck to keep each string bearer in a respective position of adjustment, within an available range of potential positions in a direction toward or away from the bridge and wherein each string bearer thus establishes a nut end of the vibrating length of the respective one of the plurality of strings.
