Product details

This Telecaster-compatible bridge features the same high-quality design as the BT005SL, with brass compensated saddles and dual-loading functionality, but with the addition of low-profile sides, making it ideal for players who prioritise comfortable palm-muting.

Low-Profile Sides

The reduced sides provide a modern touch to the classic design, offering unrestricted access to the saddles and making palm-muting easier for various playing styles.

Brass Compensated Saddles

The grooved brass saddles ensure accurate intonation and deliver a warm, balanced tone. Their durable construction and reversibility make them a versatile upgrade.

Dual Loading Design

Switch between string-thru for higher tension and stability or top-loading for reduced tension and a more resonant sound, catering to your personal playing preferences.

Classic Tele Bridge Design

Maintaining its vintage-inspired aesthetic, this bridge enhances pickup performance while offering a modern playing experience. It’s the perfect choice for players seeking a balance of tradition and versatility.

Low profile bridge for use with Bigsby

Ideal for installing on a vintage style Telecaster if you don't get on with the sides on a traditional bridge.

Telecaster Compatible Low Profile Ash-Tray Bridge - Brass Saddles

Wanted a cheaper alternative to the Gotoh variant for a rebuild project. Have not yet fitted, but product by the looks well made. Sure it’ll be up to the job.

Good Quality, Good Price

The cutaway sides makes this bridge feel much less bulky and chunky than a standard ashtray bridge with full height sides. I'm pretty sure this is made in the same factory as the "W" brand bridges. The compensated barrel saddles are nicely finished, the holes for the strings have good smooth edges, and the black finish of the baseplate is consistent and has a nice satin black sheen. It's a pity the black one has a strange film on the baseplate from the factory that needs to be buffed off. It could be improved with two screw holes at the front corners to stop it from lifting and vibrating, as sometimes happens with ashtray bridges that are only secured by screws at the back edge, but then it wouldn't be entirely compatible with "T" guitars.
