New Genuine Fender®
Telecaster® / Esquire® Vintage '52 Type Chrome "Pat.Pend." Bridge Plate with a set of Custom Fitted "Angle Compensated" Solid Brass Saddles.
This is a Standard Fender 50's Style Chrome Bridge Plate that fits all Vintage & Classic 50’s,60's, 70's, 80's and on up to current Reissues, MIM, CIJ, MIK, MIJ, Squier Classic Vibe’s, Highway One's®, Deluxe Nashville’s, Classic Player Baja’s and the new American Special, with (4) mounting screw holes and "Strings thru Body".
NOTE: Does not fit the American Standard or American Deluxe.
This Bridge is also a perfect fit on the G&L ASAT Classic and the Peavey Omniac. The Screw Spread Dimension is 2-9/16" center to center to the (2) outer-most holes. The String Spread Dimension is the Standard 2-1/8 inches "E" to "E".
I then add a 3-pc. set of Custom Fitted "Angle Compensated" Premium Smooth Brass Saddles. These Saddles have the intonation screw drilled at a slight angle. They allow proper intonation of your Tele's® vintage style three saddle bridge by angling the saddles and establishing the proper string length on all six strings. This is not possible with a stock set of "Straight" Saddles because most often you would need to adjust the saddle to a point halfway between the two perfect settings for each of the strings on that saddle. With the "Angle Compensated" Saddles, that Compromise is minimized or not necessary at all. The center saddle of this set is then Custom Ground so the string elevations can match your Fretboard Radius and the proper angle is ground on the ends so these saddles fit beside each other better with minimal interference (Physical or Sonic).
Mounting screws are not included. An instruction sheet on how to set intonation is included in the package.
Note: The current surface finish on the “Face” of these plates,
as they come from FENDER:
High Polish on the area in front of the pickup, and Matte
finish on the area behind the pickup (where the Saddles sit).
The outer “Wall” is all polished.
