TV-Bridge Short
combines a compact nickel-plated cold-rolled-steel bridge plate with compensated TV-Rail® saddles. The plate retains the traditional three-saddle Tele-style principle while the saddle geometry improves paired-string intonation and lets you shape the response of each string pair through material choice.
This version is supplied as a Brass 3+2 Mix & Match configuration: 3 × brass + 1 × stainless steel + 1 × 7075 aluminum.
Performance
Compensated E/A, D/G and B/e saddle geometry
Finished V-shaped string contacts for defined centering
String-through and top-load compatible plate architecture
Adjustable string radius approximately 7.25–20 in
Plain/wound G and right-/left-handed configuration supported by saddle orientation
Material & response
The primary brass saddle set is the starting voice for this version: balanced body, harmonic richness and a smoother treble direction. The two included alternative-material saddles let you change one string pair at a time.
