Joe Barden American Standard Style Bridge Saddles for Tele® / Telecaster® 2-1/8" string spacing

Note: These Joe Barden Bridge Saddles have American Standard Telecaster® String Spacing of 2-1/8".

Joe Barden Bridgeplate and Saddle Kits for vintage-style Telecasters® are designed to solve the structural problems and intonation issues inherent in the original parts.

These Joe Barden Telecaster® bridge saddles are made to Tele® specs, using the original brass material, and they have their adjustment holes drilled at three different angles to provide correct intonation for all six strings. Each of which requires a different saddle position, which has historically caused headaches for those setting up a Telecaster®.

As an added feature, the outside saddles are notched under the "E" strings, like the vintage '53 Tele® saddles. This notch helps to correct the "loud outside string" problem common to many Telecasters, and adds additional height adjustment capability, while retaining an important and authentic vintage design spec. All screws are original spec 6-32 US thread, stainless steel to insure against corrosion.

All the components found on this Joe Barden bridge are direct retrofits for Telecasters®, and require no modification to vintage instruments that would otherwise alter their unique character.

All necessary installation hardware is supplied.
