6 saddle telecaster bridge

Nothing to complain about here. I needed a replacement for a six saddle bridge on my MIJ 69 RI Paisley Telecaster. Ordered it up...got it quick...all the holes lined up. Perfect. The only downside (no big deal) was the original had six brass saddles and this one doesn't offer brass. Other than that....no problem. Great product!

Geat fit and finish

I replaced a squier bridge with this one. The pickup fits better and it has more twang.

This bridge is excellently done, is better made ​​Fender Telecaster Bridge. It is highly recommended!

Excelent!

It fits the routing of my Tele body. Nice bolts and nice metal.

You just need to put some wax to prevent the screws that adjust the height of the saddles (on the 6 saddles version of the bridge) to unscrew or move, no biggie.

Looks good and feels good, no sharp edges and vintage feeling.

What a difference!!!

Replaced the 6 saddle bridge on my MIM Tele with the 3 barrel saddle bridge #4583. Wow, this Tele really pops now! It's clear, crisp sound is what you'd expect from a Tele. Sustain was greatly improved as well! If you are considering making this mod on your Tele, DO IT! It's a bolt on operation, no drilling required. I love my "new" Tele and wouldn't trade it for anything.

Big improvement, perfect fit, one suggestion

I bought this to go from a 6 saddle tele bridge to a 3 barrel. My only complaint would be that Stew-Mac should offer this bridge with the 3 brass compensated saddles, as I'm sure the majority of informed buyers have to order the saddles separately.

Very Nice Tele Bridge

Much better forming and finish than the Fender replacement part, and made from a thicker gauge of metal. Priced attractively as well.

Nice bridge

These are nice bridges, but Stew Mac needs to make another available option: traditional ashtray bridge with comp. saddles. That way you wouldn't have to buy an extra set of saddles.

Nicer than the original

I love these traditional bridges. I prefer the brass saddles. Finish is better than the ones from Fender, and the size is perfect to cover the whole route. No sharp edges and with everything included, at a great price. Highly recommended for traditional bridges on your Tele.
