Seymour Duncan Antiquity '50s Bridge Saddles For Tele Pickup

Seymour Duncan Antiquity '50s Bridge Saddles For Tele Pickup

These hand-machined brass saddles capture the tonal response and acoustic properties that defined the classic Telecaster sound of the 1950s. The aged patina and period-correct construction contribute measurable sonic characteristics—enhanced sustain, harmonic clarity, and the natural frequency response of vintage brass—making them essential for recording sessions where that authentic vintage character translates directly to the final mix.

Construction & Materials

Each saddle is hand machined from brass alloy and artificially aged to replicate original 1950s hardware specifications. The bottoms are trimmed for added height adjustment capability, enabling precise intonation calibration and action setup critical for consistent tracking and minimal string-to-fret noise during recording.

Specifications & Compatibility

This set includes three saddles engineered to fit standard Telecaster bridge specifications. The intonation screws feature fillister heads with 6-32 X 1.25" threads, while headless, slotted machine screws handle height adjustment at 6-32 X .492". Precise dimensions—.850" length, .310" width, and .265" height per saddle—ensure drop-in compatibility with authentic bridge setups.
