Prior to working with Hipshot, we were asked near constantly for a vintage Telecaster® bridge that offered up all of the advantages you’d see on the modern version. Thankfully Hipshot® stepped up to the plate and have really delivered the goods with the 4410046, and they’ve done it with the levels of excellence and attention to detail we’ve all come to expect for such a reputable manufacturer of guitar parts.
Suitable for a Standard Telecaster® or Similar with 4 screw bridge
In a similar situation to the vintage to modern conversion, occasionally we’ve been asked for a modern Tele® bridge that spots those classic brass barrel saddles to help get a little bit of the vintage tone that you only really get with vintage Telecaster® bridges.

Gotohs version of the increasingly popular "modern conversion bridge" for the Telecaster® - built in a similar style to the AM standard bridge thats been in use since 1988, and allows unrivaled access to the strings, aswell as individual intonation control of each string thanks to 6 separate "modern" saddles. Whilst this is best described as a modern bridge that will fit onto a vintage guitar, and sports those all important 4 mounting holes - theres a little nod back to the old vintage design, with plated brass saddles - which can play an important part in nailing that classic tone.

Whilst this is technically a vintage bridge, and has the typical 4 screw mount, its fair to say its got more in common with a modern example, right down to the steel saddles used.
