An improved adjustable bridge is described for a stringed musical instrument. The adjustable bridge has a pair of feet attached to the bridge body. A pair of legs is attached for the bridge body using adjustable rod pegs. These rod pegs are adjustable so that the bridge may be moved upwards and downwards to achieve the desired bridge height.

Apparatus and methods for an adjustable bass bridge for a stringed musical instrument

A collapsible acoustic stringed instrument is disclosed having a hollow body with a soundboard, a back face and a spacer defining a sound chamber. A sound post is secured within the hollow body and engaging the soundboard and the back face. The sound post has a securement pin on each end with a sharpened portion to engage the soundboard and the back face and maintain proper positioning when the instrument strings are loosened. A neck is pivotally and laterally coupled to the body, which further has a door slidably received by specially formed channels in the back face. The neck is able to pivot and slide through the door and into the sound chamber from a playing position to a stored position, without disturbing the sound post or otherwise compromising the appearance or performance of the instrument with respect to a standard non-collapsible instrument.
