This classic 3-saddle design has been around for over 50 years and is still regarded as the ultimate ‘tone machine’.

The baseplate itself is a faithful reproduction of the original, made from steel, very important in a bridge of this style due to the tonal effect it has on the magnetic field of the pickup
mounted in it.
