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 5):
The intonation system of  claim 4 , wherein the lower portion of the bridge string saddle element includes a depending web and a pair of flanges extending away from the web and engaged in the T-slot, the flanges each having a bottom face and a limited amount of clearance in a direction normal to the bottom face, and wherein the bridge string saddle assembly includes a layer of a frictional material, between the bottom face and an opposing interior surface of the T-slot, and wherein a string of the stringed instrument, when supported by the one of the bridge string saddle assemblies, urges the bottom face of each of the flanges and the layer of frictional material against the opposing interior surface of the T-slot, thus keeping the respective bridge string saddle element from moving with respect to the saddle base member with which it is mated.
