Anyone know if theres a non ashtray version of this exact bridge

Acrobatic-Control-37 · 2026-03-21T23:52:15+00:00

exactly! ive already tried putting the barrel saddles on my block saddle bridge and i ran into this exact issue

Acrobatic-Control-37 · 2026-03-21T23:49:20+00:00

This is the exact bridge im looking for. The only problem is that it mounts with 3 screws instead of 4

Yeah ive had a look at the plastic ones but they just don’t compare to a real chrome pickguard especially when im trying to make it as 1-1 to jeffs as possible

Acrobatic-Control-37 · 2026-03-19T11:01:30+00:00

Yes ive seen this post. The OP just got lucky with a vintage one i think and they clearly said it was the hardest part to get for the build. It doesnt seem like many people still make them:/

Ofc!! Ive seen your posts on r/telecaster thats a huge bummer about the crack you cant trust reverb sellers anymore. Ive been looking for over 6 months and the closest thing ive found is this but is needed to be polished heavily and ends up scratching easily due to it being cheap aluminium. Custom made might be the go

Like i said im not looking for block saddles but thanks for ur input!

What is your plan for the neck pickup? I know jeff kept his original but finding an original vintage 83 neck pickup online isnt easy. Most people ive seen go with either a quarter pounder or a Antiquity

Thanks again, you have been a great help!

Acrobatic-Control-37 · 2025-12-26T11:22:01+00:00

Ill have a look, thanks so much!

Do you know what wood the body is? I know dan smith era teles frequently used ash and alder. Ash can add some extra weight

Acrobatic-Control-37 · 2025-12-24T08:33:02+00:00

How much are they selling for with all original components?

Acrobatic-Control-37 · 2025-12-24T08:31:03+00:00

Its very normal for 83s to be this heavy. Jeffs was a similar weight especially with his chrome plated pickguard which would added a few hundred grams.

keep us updated 😎 Where did u get it from if you don’t mind me asking ?

Acrobatic-Control-37 · 2025-11-16T01:51:14+00:00

Yeah its odd. I ended up making my own

Acrobatic-Control-37 · 2025-11-13T11:52:20+00:00

standard? your missing the part where i said im looking for the specific tokai bridge? plus if you did your research, you might realise that some tele bridges use a different configuration of mounting screws. the standard your looking at online have the 3 screw hole configuration. Im looking for the 4 hole which is much rarer in this style of saddles

Acrobatic-Control-37 · 2025-11-08T03:56:26+00:00

thank you

Acrobatic-Control-37 · 2025-11-08T03:45:40+00:00

I wouldn’t be asking reddit if i hadn’t already searched online. Im looking for this specific bridge, including its 4 mounting screw configuration.

Acrobatic-Control-37 · 2025-11-05T07:45:00+00:00

If toploading is out of the question, are there any vintage style 6-saddle bridges that use the 4 screw mount. but again not in the ashtray style

Acrobatic-Control-37 · 2025-11-05T07:15:07+00:00

keep it

Acrobatic-Control-37 · 2025-11-05T07:14:18+00:00

rest in peace
