Strong match

Who this is for

  • Telecaster players needing the Vintage Style mounting and string-through-hole layout
  • Players seeking brass, vintage-spec saddles with angled adjustment holes
  • Fingerpickers who find a standard treble-side bridge wall obtrusive

Consider the trade-offs

When to look elsewhere

  • Instruments requiring the American Standard Style bridgeplate layout
  • Buyers needing a bridgeplate interchangeable with the American Standard Style model
