The new bridge fits my guitar perfectly. Now my intonation is much closer to perfect, without sacrificing the vintage look. I use D'addario NYXL 10-46 strings, for intonation reference; the two outer saddles tune just about perfectly, and the middle saddle nearly perfect. Now I can play up the neck without cringing. I also like this bridge's cut-down sides. Substantial metal, not cheapo, smooth chrome plating.

This is a great change to the stock dishpan Tele bridge. Direct fit for 50's style Telecaster. Very good quality and a great price

The sheet metal that these were pressed from is on the thin side compared to Gotoh and some others, but this is not to say this is a 'bad' thing. It seems to be 17 gauge (approx .056" or 1.43 mm) with chrome plated (which looks good). Nice brass saddles and the screws seem adequate.Updated review- I have used this on two hand made tele style guitars and feel that this is a good bridge for the money. In my initial review I viewed the sheet metal thickness as a negative but there isn't any real evidence to prove this. It intonates well due to the angles of the saddles and it's easy to space the strings where you want them and the stay put. Like the original design, you can match the string height precisely to the finger board radius.All of the questions that I have received about this product have been, "will this fit XXXX model of squier, fender, etc. I don't know but the only way to be sure is to check the measurements of your project guitar with the measurements of the product before you but it.

Just what I was looking for. Vintage style with quality materials. Not vintage and old looking!

This bridge is an easy drop in mod. I have the unwound strings top loaded and the 3 wound strings through the body.

The bridge plate is thinner than usual, and that would not be that big of an issue, if it weren't slightly warped.I liked the idea of the cut down sides, but the thinner gauge steel with the cut down sides makes it unusable as it does not stay flat.But the BIGGER issue is the cheap screws that are supplied. 2 of them sheared off after screwing them in about 3/4 of the way from being flush with the plate. The next 2 were getting tight at about the same point, so I decided to back them back out. Well, they also sheared off while attempting to back them out. The worst part is they ALL broke off between 1/2" - 3/4" into the body. So nothing to grab on to. Had to drill them out with a carbide drill bit. Huge headache.In the end I just used the Wilkinson compensated brass saddles with my original bridgeplate and a new set of stainless steel screws. You can save yourself the aggravation of a none stable bridgeplate and frustration of correcting the issue of the broken screws by just purchasing the Wilkinson brass saddles alone for $7 less.

I like the build quality of this bridge. I also wanted the brass compensated saddles. I have found on my other Telecasters that the brass softened the sound and removed some of the unpleasant high frequency sharpness that can be present on Tele’s. The bridge was easy to install and I would recommend it to others upgrade a Tele.

It’s a really good bridge, no need to spend a couple hundred dollars on an official one. This is a great bridge, I personally use three types of saddles for each of my teles, the saddles you get with this bridge are quality

The actual bridge is nice, the sides are cut away to not skin knuckles and the saddles are compensated. The bridge was shipped with the saddles in and the set screws down. In shipping the screws scratched the plate up a lot. I haven’t installed so I’m unsure if it will be visible or not. The seller really should at least back off the set screws.

Bridge is fine, but it doesn’t have the cut-down sides
