On a cello, the strings are attached to the tailpiece and are held above the soundboard by the bridge.. A bridge is a device that supports the strings on a stringed musical instrument and transmits the vibration of those strings to another structural component of the instrument—typically a soundboard, such as the top of a guitar or violin—which transfers the sound to the surrounding air.
B&G Guitars, a private build guitar company from Tel Aviv, Israel, uses their signature "backwards" sound holes on their guitars. [4] Holes not positioned on the top of an acoustic guitar are called soundports. They are usually supplementary to a main sound hole, and are located on an instrument's side facing upward in playing position ...
A resonator guitar or resophonic guitar (often generically called a "Dobro" [1]) is an acoustic guitar that produces sound by conducting string vibrations through the bridge to one or more spun metal cones , instead of to the guitar's sounding board (top). Resonator guitars were originally designed to be louder than regular acoustic guitars ...
On a standard guitar, the string is held above the soundboard by two nodes: the "nut" (near the headstock) and the "bridge" (near the player's right hand on a standard guitar). A player sounding a note on a standard guitar vibrates a single portion of the string (between the nut and the bridge or between their fretting finger and the bridge).
An acoustic guitar is a musical instrument in the string family. When a string is plucked, its vibration is transmitted from the bridge, resonating throughout the top of the guitar. It is also transmitted to the side and back of the instrument, resonating through the air in the body, and producing sound from the sound hole. [1]

The SST was a design that combined Gibson's steel-string acoustic and electric guitar technology. [2] The guitar had a solid spruce or cedar top and a mahogany body. Unlike most acoustic-electrics, the SST had no resonating chamber or soundhole. The acoustic sound came from a bridge mounted transducer manufactured by L.R. Baggs for Gibson with ...
