    Abstract: The invention relates to a string instrument, in particular a guitar (10B). The bridge (24B) is disposed on the upper side (20) of an instrument body (12B). The bridge (24B) is furnished with a receiver groove (26), which runs perpendicular to the strings (30) of the instrument (10B). A bridge insert (28) is inserted into the receiver groove (26). The receiver groove (266) exhibits a bridge body (70) inserted into the receiver groove (26) of the bridge (24B) and a string contact element (74) disposed at the end (72) of the bridge body (70) turned away from the instrument body (12B). The string contact element (74) serves as a support for strings (30) and is formed harder than the bridge body (70) in order to prevent a cutting in of the strings (30) into the bridge insert (28) and in order to maintain the sound quality constant over a long time period.
