Fender American 3-Saddle Top-Load / String-Through Telecaster Bridge w/ Compensated Brass Bullet Saddles

Classic Three-Saddle Tele Tone with More Flexible Stringing and Better Intonation

The Fender American 3-Saddle Top-Load / String-Through Telecaster Bridge keeps the traditional brass-saddle character of a Tele while giving you more control over how the strings feel and respond. You can run the strings through the body for a conventional setup or top-load them through the bridge, which reduces tension for a springier attack and mellower twang.

Three compensated Brass “Bullet” saddles improve intonation over traditional straight barrel saddles while retaining the familiar three-saddle layout. Their rounded sides also make the bridge more comfortable against your picking hand, particularly if you tend to rest your palm near the saddles.

The bridge uses a Chrome-plated steel plate with six-screw mounting. Saddle height adjusts with a 1.59 mm (1/16") hex wrench, which is included along with the bridge cover and mounting hardware. Made in the USA.

At Riffs & Licks Music, we think this Telecaster bridge is ideal for players who want vintage-informed brass saddle tone without being locked into traditional string-through feel or uncompensated three-saddle intonation.
