Left Hand Telecaster Compatible Ash-Tray Bridge BT005

This Telecaster-compatible bridge is a high-quality replacement bridge designed to fit the vast majority of Tele-style guitars. Coming with steel saddles and base plate, it's perfect as a replacement for your existing Tele bridge, or as part of a brand new Telecaster-style build.

Steel Saddles

These particular steel saddles have grooves that stagger the breakpoint of each string. This results in a more exacting intonation when compared to traditional vintage-style saddles. Each of these saddles is reversible and can be used in any position. Their steel construction delivers a bright tonality that will stand up to plenty of abuse.

Dual Loading Bridge Design

This bridge is dual-loading, so you can have your strings as top loading or string through. There are various reasons you might choose either, so having both as an option is a pretty good deal!

String Thru

When using a string-thru bridge, you'll have increased tension versus that of a top-loading bridge, which some players prefer as it gives you a more stable playing platform, particularly when you're plucking with your fingers. It really comes down to personal preference which you prefer, as both will sound equally great, just different.

Top Loading

When top loading, the strings are top mounted to the back of the bridge, which means a slightly lesser string tension than that of a through body. This will make the guitar sound more resonant and lively, which some players prefer over string-thru style bridges.
