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

General

With the AxLabs Tele-Style Bridge with Brass Swivel Saddles, you can give your Tele®-style electric guitar an authentic, classic bridge that feels instantly familiar. The well-known ‘ashtray’ design consists of a steel bridge plate with a string-through construction, allowing the strings to run through the body. This not only delivers that traditional look, but can also contribute to a crisp attack and solid sustain. The nickel finish also makes it a neat match for many common hardware colours on Tele®-style guitars.

Lockable brass swivel saddles

A unique feature of this bridge is the brass swivel saddles. These saddles can be locked in place to prevent unwanted movement. This is ideal if you want to maintain a consistent setup, particularly during intensive playing or on guitars that are sensitive to minor shifts in the bridge. Brass is renowned for its warm, full-bodied tone and a pleasing balance between clarity and body. This bridge thus combines a classic design with a practical upgrade for extra stability.

Fitting and compatibility

This AxLabs bridge is designed for Tele®-style guitars with a 4-hole mounting and a string-through (body-through) string routing. If you have a Tele®-style body that meets this standard, this is a logical choice as a replacement or upgrade for your current bridge. As this is a piece of hardware, it is advisable to check beforehand whether your guitar has the same four mounting holes and string-through bore. That way, you can be sure the bridge will fit without any hassle and align correctly.
