Tele
The foundation of the classic "twang" and sustain.
The Tele-style bridge is a major factor in the instrument's tonal character, serving as both a string anchor and a pickup mount. We provide a wide range of plates, from traditional vintage-spec "ashtrays" to modern low-profile designs and specialized short versions. Whether you are restoring a vintage classic or building a modern custom T-style, our selection ensures a solid mechanical connection and precise string alignment.

Plate Styles and Modern Adaptations
The geometry of your bridge plate defines not only the look of your guitar but also the playing feel and pickup compatibility:
Vintage "Ash-Tray" Plates: Features the classic raised side walls for a period-correct look. These are usually stamped from steel to provide that authentic 50s/60s "snap."
Modern Flat Plates: Designed without the side walls to improve playability and offer better access for palm muting. These are often thicker and machined from solid brass or steel for a more controlled, feedback-resistant performance.
Short Bridges: The perfect solution for custom builds where you want to use a separate pickup ring or a humbucker in the bridge position. These compact plates maintain the Tele string-through-body feel while offering more freedom in pickup placement.
Saddle Configurations and Intonation
3-Saddle Vintage Design: Preferred for maximum string-to-saddle pressure. We offer compensated saddles (Brass or Steel) that provide modern intonation accuracy without losing the vintage aesthetic.
6-Saddle Modern Design: Allows for perfect individual intonation and height adjustment for every string—ideal for players using hybrid gauges or non-standard tunings.
Technical Fitment
When selecting a bridge, pay close attention to the mounting screw pattern. We stock both the classic 4-screw vintage mount and the modern 3-screw pattern. Always check if your body is drilled for a string-through-body or a "top-loader" setup, as many of our bridges are designed to support both for maximum versatility.
