Danelectro/Silvertone Replacement Bridge (DRB2) - without saddles

NOTE, if purchasing this bridge plate to install on a Danelectro or Silvertone style instrument we strongly suggest purchasing the complete kit in our other listing. The complete kit comes with specialized intonation screws and springs specifically for the Danelectro and Silvertone instruments.

In 2006, we designed our Danelectro/Silvertone replacement bridge to address intonation issues while also increasing sustain on some of Jeff’s beloved vintage instruments. Jeff says, "On some of the vintage and reissue Dano style guitars the little rosewood bridge saddle is just fine and groovy sounding, but it also left much to be desired for many players' needs."
This bridge plate is made to utilize the classic three saddle design and the result is a guitar that plays in tune better, sustains longer, and has a more emphasized fundamental frequency tone.
Our replacement bridge couples flat to the body to increase resonance transfer and uses the same three mounting holes of the original bridge, so there are no new holes added.* You can even use your old screws if you wish.

We originally partnered with CJ Guitar Tooling for manufacturing, but due to high demand both companies agreed we needed to contract out production. The result is a new and evolved nickel plated steel version, the DRB2 (Danelectro Replacement Bridge 2). The DRB2 enhances the overall harmonics and tone even a step further. We've added two extra screw holes so that the bridge can also be used for other brands of guitars and DIY projects. We like it so much we also use it on all of our hand built Model One guitars. You'll love what this bridge does for your guitar.

Installation only takes a few minutes, but in some cases will require the neck to be shimmed a little for better break angle. If you have a '60's Dano or Silvertone product you may have a neck angle adjustment screw built in the guitar already but, as always, we encourage professional installation by your local and favorite tech.

-The DRB2 bridge plate alone, only comes with mounting screws. No saddles, springs, or intonation screws are included. You can add T-style, 3 barrel saddles from the manufacturer of your choice, however the DRB2 is drilled out to accept M3 intonation screws, not USA coarse thread screws. We suggest Gotoh manufactured saddles for these bridges.
-Also available as a complete package with 5/16" intonated Brass Saddles, see our other listings.

* The DRB2 is designed to fit vintage (1955 - 1969) Dano/Silvertone three point guitar bridges and 1990's - 2000's Korean reissue guitars.
The bridge alone will NOT fit Baritones, Basses, or some of the newer reissue instruments. See our other listings for the DRB2 sold with saddles for Baritone needs.
