is a company that produces electric guitars and bass guitars. This assignment is for the part that connects the strings to the body of the instrument, called the bridge of the instrument. The bridges used for the bass guitars of Aristides Instruments are acquired from an external company and do not meet their technical and aesthetical requirements. Bridges need to be sufficiently tunable in several respects. Furthermore it has to have a certain quality in terms of visual and acoustical aesthetics. An existing bridge satisfying the needs of AI could not be found on the market. For this reason an alternative solution was sought for and this graduation project came into being. In this report the process from exploring the assignment to coming to an elaborate solution and a functional prototype is depicted. The design ended up being innovative, simplistic in product architecture and well-fit for the O5O in terms of technical and aesthetical qualities.
