AxLabs Tele-Style Bridge with Brass Compensated Saddles Gold bridge for an electric guitar

General

The AxLabs Tele-Style Bridge with Brass Compensated Saddles is a separate bridge (replacement/upgrade part) for Tele®-style electric guitars. It features the traditional ‘ashtray’ design with a steel bridge plate and a string-through construction, where the strings run through the body. This delivers that typical Tele® response: tight, direct and with a recognisable twang. The gold finish also gives your guitar a luxurious, eye-catching look and pairs beautifully with other gold hardware.

Compensated brass saddles

This bridge is fitted with brass compensated saddles. The advantage of compensated saddles is that they often allow you to adjust the intonation just that little bit better than with standard, straight saddles. This is particularly beneficial with Tele®-style bridges, as it ensures you play in tune across the entire neck. Brass is also known for its warm undertone with a bright attack, ensuring that chords and single notes remain well-defined without sounding thin.

4-hole mounting and string-through

The AxLabs Tele®-style bridge is designed for bodies with a 4-hole mounting and string-through (body-through) string holes. If your Tele®-style guitar adheres to this standard, then this is a logical choice for maintenance or a cosmetic and functional upgrade. Always check that the position of the four screw holes and the string-through holes matches your guitar body, so that everything lines up neatly. This way, you can fit the bridge without any surprises and get back to playing in no time.
