Here's a nice Pat.Pend. Fender Plate that has been Notched on the rear wall for a set of B & G String Benders. All of our plates get the "Full Bridge Works Treatment" before they are modified any further. Note the nice smooth corners, and the full polish on the outer surfaces. They don't come from Fender that way!

Every once in a while, we get a request for a Custom Fender 6-Saddle Vintage Style Bridge. This time, the customer requested that it be cut down into a G.E.Smith shorty Bridge, with an overall length of 1-7/16"(36.5mm).

How about a Telecaster® / Esquire® Vintage '52 Type Gold Plated TOP LOADER "Pat.Pend." Bridge Plate. Something NEW for that Special Tele with Gold Hardware.

Here is a Custom G.E.Smith style Half Bridge that has the optional Bigsby modification done across the back to allow the strings to cross over from the Vibrato to the Saddles.
Also note: how all of the Bridge Plates coming from Fender these days, have a matte/Bead Blasted appearance on the surface that the Saddles sit on. All of the outer surfaces are still polished.
The Bigsby Mod can be added to any of our Standard or Custom Plates.

This is a very interesting Bridge that we did for a special order recently. It is a Left Hand Telecaster Bridge Plate, but it has been set-up, totally, for a right handed guitar. So the Bridge Pickup gets that reverse Hendrix thing going on. The Tele will also have a Bigsby B5 Vibrato mounted behind the Bridge, so it required the special clearance Notches accross the back of the Bridge Plate. Top it all off with a set of Hybrid Notches along the sides and a trio of our Custom Comp Saddles, and you've got one unique Telecaster Bridge!

For you players that love your Fender American Standard Telecaster, but HATE your American Standard Bridge, we offer our American Standard Conversion Bridge that gets you that Vintage Look, Feel and Tele Sound that you've been missing. Here are some before and after shots of a pair of Fender American Standards with Bridge Works Conversion Bridges.

A VERY Rare Bird today!!!
This is a Fender Left Handed 6-Saddle Bridgeplate, that was sent here from a good friend in the U.K., for a Single Short Notch modification.
I thought that I had seen everything, but I've NEVER seen one of these!
It's in the mail Christopher, you should have it by the middle of next week.

Every once in a while, we get a request for a "B"-Bender Notch. This is clearance for the "B" string to come off of a String Bender Capstan located behind the Tele Bridge, cross over the rear wall of the Bridge and proceed across the Saddle in normal fashion. This particular Bridgeplate is a "Top-Load" Model, but this modification can be performed on any Vintage Style Tele Bridgeplate, for the "B" string, "G" string or Both.
