Leo Quan Badass T1 Bridge for Fender Telecaster/Tele Guitar - Chrome

Badass T1™ Replacement Bridge for Tele®

Bigger, Bolder, Badass Tone!

Designed as a direct-replacement bridge for most Fender® Tele® models, our Badass T1™ bridge offers players a noticeably bolder attack, accentuated low-mids, and sustain for days! Players desiring a bigger, bolder tone from their Tele will love the deep, resonant growl the T1 brings to their tone. Using a unique shim system, saddle height adjustment screws are eliminated greatly improving comfort and maximizing transference of string energy through the bridge and body. The result is “next level” sustain and sonic heft on par with the industry’s leading set-neck guitar designs. If you’re ready for an incredible new combination of note-clarity, punch and sustain, you owe it to yourself to rock a T1. After all, why settle for ordinary when you can be BADASS!

Features

• Solid zinc bridge plate and saddles offer fuller, more-immediate attack, enhanced sustain, and increased harmonic content – particularly in the low-mids.
• Unique 6-saddle design for more accurate intonation and extended intonation range.
• Unique shim system ensures rock-solid contact between the saddles and bridge plate for enhanced sustain via greater transference of string-vibrations through the body.
• Unique “set it and forget it” shim system enhances comfort by securing optimal string height without tone-stealing, palm-shredding height adjustment screws.
• Vintage Tele® bridge mounting pattern ensures easy installation on most Tele models. No drilling required. Easily returnable to stock.
• Oval shaped mounting holes further ensure easy mounting on both Fender® and Squier® Telecaster® models.
• Pre-radiused to work with Fender® and Squier® Telecaster® models with a 9.5” fretboard radius. Supplied saddle shims can be used to achieve higher radiuses.
• Contoured string-through-body holes lessen the chance of string breakage when used as a “string-through-body” bridge.
• Angled recesses at the rear of the bridge elegantly conceal the ball ends of the strings when strung through bridge.
• Rounded bridge corners ensure comfort while palm-muting strings.
• Contemporary 2-1/8” String Spacing.
• A modern and refined aesthetic that doesn’t look foreign or out of place on your Tele®.

Also Included

• Mounting screws
• 6 of each saddle shim (short, medium, tall)
• Hex wrench

Quick Start For Setting Up Your T1

• Use the guide below as a reference for how to pre-load your saddle shims to match your guitar’s fretboard radius.
• While the strings are off, choose the guide that best matches your guitar's fretboard radius and install the shim underneath the saddle in the positions shown illustrated. Once the shims are in place, install your strings and tune to pitch as usual.
• Keep in mind that every guitar and player is unique, so you may need to add or subtract shims to achieve your ideal setup and playability.
