Description: A true Custom touch for your prized Telecaster.Get the TONE you love and the Clearance you Desire.Perfect for your La Cabronita or Noventa project.Custom Cut-Off (G.E. Smith Style) Telecaster® / Esquire® Fender Vintage Type Bridge Plate and a set of Wilkinson Compensated" Solid Brass Saddles.I start with 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. 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".The Bridge Plate is modified by Cutting it off just behind the Bridge Pickup mounting screw Holes for Maximum picking clearance near the Bridge Pickup. (as done on G.E. Smith’s original Guitar, & on the Fender® G.E. Smith Signature Model Telecaster® Guitar). This Mod eliminates the parts of the Vintage Style Telecaster® Bridge that you've been catching your pick on, or banging your knuckles on. The Modified areas of the Plate are polished smooth to match the rest of the bridge plate before the bridge is assembled.This Bridge requires the Bridge Pickup to be “Body-Mounted” similar to the original mounting method used on the 50’s Telecaster Neck Pickup, but with (3) screws instead of (2). Body mounting the Bridge Pickup on a Telecaster produces a “FATTER” tone from that pickup.“With that pickup in the wood like that, you get this resonance and this fattened-up lower end and low midrange that’s really cool” ~ G.E. SmithI then add a set of Wilkinson Compensated Brass Saddles. These saddles offer a Vintage Look and Sound with the appeal of Dramatically improved intonation.Mounting screws are not included. A Hex key for the elevation screws and an instruction sheet on how to set intonation are both in the package.I also have "G.E. Smith" Style Bridge Plates without the Custom Saddles. 16.00 Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE Track Page Views With Auctiva's Counter
