A true Custom touch for your prized Telecaster without any modification.
Telecaster® / Esquire® Vintage Type "Pat.Pend." Bridge with Hybrid Notches on the Upper & Lower Flanges and a set of Custom Fitted "Angle Compensated" Solid Brass Saddles.
This Hybrid Bridge gives you the Best Balance between Picking Clearance and Classic Tele® Tone.
This is a Standard Fender 50's Style “Pat.Pend.” Chrome Bridge Plate that fits
all Vintage & Classic 50’s, 60's, 70's, 80's and on up to current
Reissues, MIM, CIJ, MIK, MIJ, Squier Classic Vibe’s, Highway One's®, Deluxe Nashville’s, Classic Player Baja’s and the new American Special, with (4) mounting screw holes and "Strings thru Body". NOTE: Does not fit the American Standard or American Deluxe. This Bridge Plate is also a perfect fit on the Peavey Omniac & G&L Bluesboy. The Screw Spread Dimension is 2-9/16" center to center to the (2) outer-most holes. The String Spread Dimension is the Standard 2-1/8 inches "E" to "E".
The
Bridge Plate is modified by "Notching" the Upper and Lower Flanges for
right hand picking clearance near the Bridge Pickup. But keeps as much of the “Tone Ring” as
possible to maintain that Classic Tele® sound. The Notched-Areas are then polished mirror smooth to match the rest of the bridge plate before the Bridge is assembled.
I then add a set of Custom Fitted 3-pc.
"Angle Compensated" Premium Smooth Brass Saddles. These Saddles
have the intonation screw drilled at a slight angle. They allow proper
intonation of your Tele's® vintage style three saddle bridge by angling the saddles and establishing the proper string length on all six strings.
