FenderVintage Telecaster Bridge Saddle Set
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Vintage-style Telecaster bridge saddles for players restoring an older Tele bridge or replacing worn, seized, or missing saddle hardware.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Replacing pitted or worn saddles on a vintage-style Tele bridge
- Restoring a Telecaster whose saddle screws have seized or stripped
- Returning a modified Tele to vintage three-saddle hardware
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players chasing perfect intonation on every string
- Modern six-saddle Tele bridges — the spacing and count differ
- Stratocaster or non-Tele bridges of any kind
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Three saddles, six strings
String pairs share one intonation point, so intonation is a compromise per pair rather than exact per string.
Detail 03
Telecaster body shape
Cut for the Tele's through-body bridge plate. It will not drop into a Strat or hardtail bridge.
Detail 04
SS pickup configuration
Matches the standard two-single-coil Tele where the bridge pickup mounts to the bridge plate itself.
Detail 05
Saddle-only set
The bridge plate, mounting screws for the plate, and pickup are not part of this. Only the saddles change.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01You will need to re-intonate and reset string height after fitting
- 02Bridge plate and pickup are not included — saddles only
- 03Check your existing bridge is a three-saddle vintage plate, not a six-saddle modern one
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01How many saddles come in the set?
It is a vintage Telecaster saddle set, so three saddles covering all six strings — each saddle carries two strings.
02Will these fit a modern Telecaster bridge?
Only if your bridge is the vintage three-saddle type. Modern six-saddle bridges use different saddles and spacing.
03Do I need to set up the guitar after installing?
Yes. Swapping saddles changes string height and intonation, so both need adjusting before the guitar plays in tune.
04Does this include the bridge plate?
No. This is the saddle set only. Your existing bridge plate, mounting screws, and pickup stay in place.
