Tailpiece or Bridge
=== Tailpiece or Bridge ===
The '''The <u>tailpiece/bridge'' </u> is the part that connects the strings to the body. ''' It is responsible for the guitar's action, intonation, sustain, and tone. There are numerous types. The Stratocaster's tremolo bridge is one of the more famous. It features individual adjustable saddles and a whammy bar. Some bridges are coupled directly to the guitar body, which claim to increase tone and sustain. Some are only attached to a few points, allowing the bridge to "float".
