Abstract
ABSTRACT
The floating guitar bridge is a common mechanical device attached to a guitars' strings and body which allows the guitar player to raise or lower the pitch of the guitar strings. This type of bridge is generally called a floating bridge because it is not stable. In other words, the floating bridge has a tendency to move while playing the guitar which can cause many problems. The BRIDGE LOCKER is a guitar bridge locking mechanism which locks floating type mechanical string bending guitar bridges thus disabling the floating bridges' ability to move forwards or backwards, thus making the bridge stable or locked in position.
the object of the BRIDGE LOCKER device is to allow the guitar player to lock and un-lock the floating function of the floating guitar bridge without hindering the guitarist's playing style.
the novelty of the BRIDGE LOCKER is that it locks the bridge to the body of the guitar. Prior art relative to this subject matter teaches a guitar having a bridge with locking mechanisms which lock the strings to the bridge or the position of the tremolo arm.
