    Abstract: The present invention provides a bridge for a stringed instrument with improved structure design which allows the bridge to be made of light-weight acoustically resonant material. The bridge comprises a plurality of adjustable saddles that are always in contact with the adjacent saddles, the internal bottom wall, and/or the end walls of the first chamber of the bridge. The constant contacts enable these plurality of parts to be unified by pressure allowing for excellent transmission of the string vibrations. The compressive load provided by these constant contacts enables the instant bridge to withstand even the heaviest load of strings. In addition, the bridge comprises thin walls facilitating resonance. The bridge may also comprise internal piezoelectric elements. The bridge is able to produce authentic acoustic sounds for an electric guitar without the need for pre-amplification or signal conditioning.
