Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of electric guitars and related accessories, specifically a retro guitar bridge for preventing string deviation. Background Technology
[0002] In recent years, with the improvement of living standards and spiritual well-being, the number of electric guitar users and enthusiasts has been growing, covering a wider age range. People's pursuit of guitar performance has also increased, and their demands for guitar style have become more refined. The existing bridge structure of retro guitars cannot provide users with higher pitch accuracy and right-hand playing feel. Therefore, I propose a bridge that can prevent pitch problems caused by octave inaccuracy due to string vibration affecting the total effective string length, as well as uneven spacing of the five strings (strings 1-6) caused by string displacement. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a retro guitar bridge that prevents string deviation, so as to solve the problems of inaccurate pitch and uneven string spacing caused by the deviation of vibrations generated when plucking strings on an electric guitar.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a retro guitar bridge with anti-misalignment, comprising a plate-type main body, wherein a string hole is formed in the middle of the plate-type main body along its length; the left side of the plate-type main body is bent upwards at 100 to 120 degrees and then downwards at 150 to 170 degrees, ultimately forming a left-side bent protrusion with an opening facing downwards; the right side of the plate-type main body is bent upwards at 170 to 180 degrees, ultimately forming a right-side bent overlapping portion with an opening facing left; a first M3 bolt hole and a second M3 bolt hole are formed on the top surface of the left-side bent protrusion, and a slanted central groove is formed on the top surface of the protrusion located between the first and second M3 bolt holes; a third M3 bolt hole is formed at the center of the right-side top surface of the right-side bent overlapping portion.
[0005] Preferably, the left side of the plate-type main body is bent upwards at 110 degrees and then bent downwards at 160 degrees.
[0006] Preferably, the right side of the plate-shaped body is bent upwards at 172 degrees, ultimately forming a right-side bent overlapping portion with an opening facing left.
[0007] Preferably, the inclined central groove is configured as an outwardly opening fan-shaped groove or a conical groove.
[0008] Preferably, the oblique central groove, the string hole, and the third M3 bolt hole are on the same straight line, that is, the string can pass through in a straight line at the same time.
[0009] Preferably, the string, after installation, sits on the center of the bottom surface of the concave point of the inclined central groove.
[0010] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0011] The improvement involves replacing the smooth contact point between the strings and the traditional bridge with a conical groove contact point, preventing them from shifting off-pitch. In other words, the strings are fixed within the conical groove, preventing them from shifting to the sides when vibrating and keeping them fixed within the pitch point for optimal stability. Secondly, this feature can better even out the spacing between the five strings of the guitar, which consist of six strings, improving the right-hand playing feel and resulting in better guitar playing performance.

[0025] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0026] Example 1
[0027] Please see Figures 1 to 6 This utility model provides a technical solution: a retro guitar bridge with anti-string misalignment. Its key improvement lies in replacing the smooth contact point between the string and the traditional bridge with a slanted central groove 5—a fan-shaped groove with an outwardly smooth opening. Preferably, the left side of the main body bends upwards at 110 degrees and then downwards at 160 degrees, ultimately forming a left-side bend protrusion with a downward opening; the right side of the main body bends upwards at 172 degrees, ultimately forming a right-side bend overlapping portion with a left-side opening. Its advantages are that, due to the slanted central groove 5—the outwardly smooth fan-shaped groove—with a large opening arc of 100 to 170 degrees, preferably 135 degrees, comfort is increased, improving the right-hand playing feel, and effectively preventing string misalignment and correcting pitch.
[0028] Example 2
[0029] Please see Figures 7 to 12 This utility model provides another technical solution: a retro guitar bridge with anti-skewing feature. Its key improvement lies in replacing the smooth contact point between the string and the traditional bridge with a slanted central groove 5—a fan-shaped conical groove with an outwardly smooth opening. Preferably, the left side of the main body bends upwards at 110 degrees and then downwards at 160 degrees, ultimately forming a left-side bend protrusion with a downward opening; the right side of the main body bends upwards at 172 degrees, ultimately forming a right-side bend overlapping portion with a left-side opening. Its advantage lies in the fact that the slanted central groove 5—the conical groove—has a large opening arc of 25 to 85 degrees, preferably 45 degrees, firmly fixing the string within the conical groove. This prevents the string from shifting to either side during vibration, keeping it fixed within the pitch point for optimal pitch stability.
[0030] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
