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

General

The AxLabs Tele-Style Bridge with Brass Swivel Saddles is a replacement or upgrade bridge for Tele®-style electric guitars. This bridge is designed as a classic string-through variant, with the strings running through the body. The steel ‘ashtray’ bridge plate provides that recognisable Tele look and a solid foundation. The gold-coloured finish also instantly gives your guitar a more luxurious appearance, perfect if you want to match your hardware with other gold components or simply want something different from standard chrome.

Smart saddles for consistent intonation

What makes this bridge particularly interesting are the brass swivel saddles. They can be rotated for adjustment and then locked into place to ensure they stay where they are. This helps you maintain more consistent intonation, even when you strum hard or frequently tweak your set-up. Brass saddles are also known for producing a warm, full-bodied tone with a clear attack. Combined with the steel bridge plate, this delivers a fine balance between bite and body.

Tele®-style mounting: 4-hole, string-through

This AxLabs bridge is designed for Tele®-style bodies with a 4-hole bridge mounting and string-through routing. This makes it suitable if your current bridge uses the same mounting and the strings run through the body. So check beforehand whether your guitar has the 4 mounting holes in the correct position and whether your body is designed for string-through. If so, this is a neat, traditional upgrade with a striking gold finish.
