Parts of the Acoustic Guitar

*the bridge*


When you pluck a string it creates a vibration. The vibration is then transmitted to the Bridge and then the guitar top.

So, the main purpose of the bridge it to make the top of the guitar vibrate, this amplyfies the sound.there are many

types of bridges. For the most part all acoustic bridges are fixed(they dont move). They also come in many different

shapes and styles, but they primarily do the same thing.The bridge also contains elements for the strings. First, the

saddle raises the strings off of the bridge and helps with proper string height. Next, there are the pins which hold the

strings to the bridge.
