Abstract
The present invention relates to a bent or stamped or pressed steel saddle of uniform thickness for s-style guitar. The saddle includes an elongated flat surface parallel to a horizontal surface and configuring an elliptical hole thereon, a first U-shaped hump region and a second U-shaped tail region on opposing sides of the elongated flat surface. The outer arm of the first U-shape is angled toward the inner arm of the first U-shape and the inner arm of the first U-shape is parallel to the curved surface of the second U-shape of the tail region. The entire inner walls of the first pair of arms of the first U-shape at the hump region and the inner surface of the height adjustment holes are configured with multiple threads to attain rigid grasp of the height adjustment screws therein.

A bent steel saddle of uniform thickness for s-style guitar, comprising:
- an elongated flat surface parallel to a horizontal surface and configuring an elliptical hole thereon to pass a string of the guitar therethrough, wherein the length of the flat surface being greater than its width,
- a hump region and a tail region on opposing sides of the elongated flat surface,
- wherein the hump region being orthogonally bent in a first U-shape with respect to the elongated flat surface,
- wherein said first U-shape being configured with a first pair of outer and inner arms and an open end in downward direction when placed on a top plate of a bridge of an instrument,
- wherein the tail region being bent in a second U-shape having a second pair of outer and inner arms parallel to each other in horizontal direction with open end toward a headstock when placed on said bridge,
- wherein the ends of the respective outer arms of the hump region and the tail region define the height of the saddle,
- a pair of circular height adjustment screw holes on the curved surface of the first U-shape at the hump region equidistant from the edges of said region to threadably couple a pair of height adjustment screws therethrough,
- a circular hole located at the centre of the curved surface of the second U-shape at the tail region to pass an intonation screw with the aid of a spring therethrough,
- wherein the outer arm of the first U-shape of the hump region, distal to the elongated flat surface, being angled toward the inner arm of the first U-shape at an angle ‘m’ with the vertical axis,
- wherein the inner arm of the first U-shape of the hump region, proximal to the elongated flat surface, being parallel to the curved surface of the second U-shape of the tail region,
- wherein the elliptical hole being configured closer to the hump region than the tail region and aligned with a top plate hole and a tremolo block hole of the instrument,
- wherein the entire inner walls of the first pair of arms of the first U-shape at the hump region and the inner surface of the height adjustment screw holes being configured with multiple threads to attain rigid grasp of the height adjustment screws therein.
