Legitimate Upgrade
Installed on '19 MIM Player. Excellent fit & finish. Plate is about 3mm longer than stock steel but allows for better intonation spring clearance. Better sustain, tone has more depth. Used stock saddle height screws to maintain action, as the enclosed are good screws but slightly longer. OK to file them down but the shorter screws work great. Solid recommendation for any Tele platform.

WOW What a difference!!
I thought my high priced brand name three brass saddle bridge I upgraded to last year was as good as it gets... wrong! After happening across several Tele website threads discussing how great the Gotoh Modern bridge was decided to give it a try. I originally upgraded from a MIM modern six saddle bridge to the brass three saddle and loved the Tele spank it brought that the MIM lacked. The Gotoh was instantly noticeable acoustically as I was installing the strings. Much louder, resonant and clear acoustically and I had just installed new strings before changing the bridge so it was not due to new strings. When I plugged into my amp and hit a couple well rehearsed licks I could tell immediately the spank was still there but the sustain was much longer and there was a new warmth that just made me want to play all night. Best money spent on my Tele. I truly would not have believed it if I had not done it my self. Oh, and I almost forgot an important feature that I did not realize was a problem with the old Ashtray bridge because I had it long enough to deal just with it... The Ashtray was in the way of where I naturally lay my hand for picking. As soon as I went to pick I had this feeling of freedom and not blocked by the Ashtray sides sticking up. Aaahh. Intonation was easy and quick. Oh, I did have to drill out the bridge pickup screw holes just a tad to get the slightly larger SD bridge pickup screws to slide in the holes. Easy. The new bridge looks great on my Tele. I was not sure if it would take away but it actually adds to the Black and Chrome look.

Fits MIM Player perfectly
First the bad- Do not use the 4 plate mounting screws or the tiny saddle height screws. They seem to have a nickel plate finish and look weak and cheap. Reuse those 2 types of Fender screws which have a nice chrome and are proven to work perfectly.The look, fit and thicker yet still bright tone are excellent. I'm super happy with the upgraded tone and weight change. I should have done it earlier.If you want to do something nice for your mim player this is a great upgrade.

Heavy duty Tele bridge
I didn't realize until I opened the box how heavy and sturdy this thing is. It's almost twice as thick as the stock Tele bridge plate! And the saddles are well-engineered and make it easy to set intonation and have it stay in tune. I put this on a Tele I built from scratch, and it's really solid.

Solid craftsmanship
Excellent sustain, adjustability, intimates perfectly and well worth the money.

Heavy, but good quality. Will change your sound.
This is a great bridge. But also be ready to gain over a half pound on the guitars overall weight. It’ll put you in Les Paul territory if you’re into that. Cheers.
