We’re proud to present the Halon version of the vintage style, 3-saddle TE ‘Ashtray’ bridge. While we kept a fairly traditional look, we decided to use a more solid, mill machined bridge plate instead of the usual thin, roughly stamped one. As always, the different available alloys for the saddles allow everyone to match and finetune the tone for the TE guitar it will be fitted on.
With respect to tradition, we’ve designed our own Tele saddles with V-shaped string grooves. While preset to intonate plain G-strings perfectly, the middle D/G saddle has a different preset on its bottom more suitable for using a wound G. So if you’d like to use a wound G, all you need to do is just twist the saddle around and check and finetune your intonation setting. Also, to prevent string breakage we’ve rounded the edges of the holes where the strings pass through.
Phosphor bronze is an alloy with unique tonal properties. PB saddles offer a crystal clear tone with excellent note separation and a loud acoustic tone. Still, warmth, mids and low end aren’t compromised at all. In a short sentence, we’d characterize them as “more of everything”.
