Abstract: The angled coaxial connector includes an insulator and inner conductor. The steering insulator serves to help guide, align, and locate an inner conductor in the bend of the angled connector. The steering insulator is adapted to receive and retain the inner conductor thereby framing and supporting the conductor. Furthermore, the inner conductor has an angled segment that is milled to have a width and a height, wherein the height of said angled segment is smaller than the width of the angled segment, more particularly, the width is substantially the same size as the diameter of the adjacent segments of the inner conductor. While the illustrated embodiment includes a substantially right angled connecter it is understood that the present invention is directed to connectors having either obtuse or acute angles as well.

Abstract: A bridge for string instruments, particularly for guitars, including base guitars, serves for adjustably fastening the strings of the instrument to the instrument body. The bridge has a base body and a bearing cylinder for each string. The bearing cylinder extends perpendicularly to the string axis and is rotatably mounted for adjusting the height of the string. Each bearing cylinder has a string throughbore extending perpendicularly to the cylinder axis and in alignment with a throughbore in the base body. An intonation tube, through which the corresponding string extends, is provided in each string throughbore, so as to be adjustable in axial direction of the intonation tube. An adjustment of the intonation tube in axial direction of the string throughbore results in an adjustment of the length of the string. A rotation of the bearing cylinder results in an adjustment of the height of the string.
