Bridge

The Bridge of a guitar is what holds the strings into place. Bridges and how they work change depending on the bridge.

The bridge is usually a wooden or metal piece that holds the strings in place with pegs. The strings are put through holes, and then the person changing the strings can put a peg into the hole, locking the strings into place. Then, the strings are put over the saddle. That is the part of the guitar that positions the strings to the correct spot. The strings will then follow up to the nut.
