This is a Genuine New Fender Telecaster Vintage Type "Pat.Pend." Bridge Plate with a Notched Lower Flange and Custom Drilled to Fit an American Standard Telecaster.
This is a Standard Fender 50's Style “Pat.Pend.” Chrome Bridge Plate that is drilled with an extra set of “String Thru” Holes that permit this plate to be retro-fitted to the Fender American Standard and American Deluxe Guitars.
To install this Bridge Plate, you will be required to drill (4) new Bridge-Mounting holes in the body of your guitar. You can easily use the new Bridge Plate as a Template. The original (3) Mounting Holes will be completely covered by this new Bridge.
The Screw Spread Dimension is 2-9/16" center to center to the (2) outer-most holes. The NEW String Spread Dimension is adjusted to the American Standard 2-1/16 inches "E" to "E".
The Bridge Plate is also modified by "Notching" the Lower Flange for right hand picking clearance near the Bridge Pickup. The Notched-Area is then polished smooth to match the rest of the bridge plate.
Saddles are NOT included with this Plate, but this Bridge Plate will accept any Stock or "Aftermarket" 3-pc. Saddle Set.
Note: Image numbers 3,4 & 5 show a Notched Bridge with a Set of Compensated Saddles. The Bridgeplate for sale here does NOT include any Saddles.
I also have Complete "Notched" & Un-Notched Bridges with sets of Custom Fitted "Angle Compensated" Saddles.
Mounting screws are not included. An instruction sheet on how to re-set your intonation is in the package.
