A modern affordable reproduction of the first combo bridge/tailpiece to feature individually adjustable saddles. The original design brought accurate intonation to Les Paul Junior,® SG Junior® and similar solidbody guitars, and has been popular since the 1970s.
See details below
Two alignment screws adjust the overall intonation. The height-adjustable mounting studs include knurled bushings. The strings load from the front of the die-cast base, wrap over the back of the bridge, and over the notched saddles. Drill 7/16" (11mm) holes for the bushings.

Tip: Slotting Tune-o-matic style saddles Nut slotting files work great for metal saddles. Simply use the same techniques you'd use for nut slotting (read more in Making a Nut, Step-by-Step). After filing to the desired depth, we suggest polishing the slot with Mitchell's Abrasive Cord to remove file marks and burrs.
About bridge & tailpiece measurements String spread is the distance between the centers of the outer strings
on a bridge or tailpiece.
Saddle radius determines the arc formed by all the individual saddle heights,
and is similar to the measurement of a fretboard.
Stud/post spacing is the distance between the centers of the mounting posts
of a bridge or 'stop' tailpiece.
