Musiclily Ultra 54mm (2-1/8 inch) String Spacing Full Solid Brass Heavy Duty Asymmetric String-through-body Tele Style Electric Guitar Bridge

Piece of junk, doesn’t fit vintage or modern specs

I have probably tried every type of tele bridge that's ever been produced and this one is my new favorite. I like heavy guitars and this has some weight to it. To my ears, it made a huge difference on the guitar's sustain. I got the gold one, I wish they made some with just brass saddles. These saddles are long. They are good, but it seems like a custom thing. Overall I would recommend this to anyone who is looking to improve sustain and is OK with making the guitar heavier. easy to install. I put this on a Harley Benton TE-52 which normally hates any aftermarket parts.

Solid craftsmanship

Very nice bridge! It is a clever design and is very well made. It is not really very clear in the pictures but the flat on the top side of the bridge has been media blasted before plating so it is a matte chrome finish. There are no process fluids left on the part and no unfinished edges. Very high level of manufacturing and design.The part sat in customs for a few days but I was not up charged. I had no idea it was shipping from China so I'm glad I managed to get it before it goes up to 200 bucks.

This bridge has a borderline premium price tag for something Musiclily releases, but I haven't found its equivalent. I was intrigued by its modern approach to a Telecaster bridge design, so I finally bit the bullet and purchased 2 - 1 to use on a build, and the other to keep around for another TBD project.The first thing is the weight. It definitely is a weighty bridge. So if a guitar's assembled weight is a concern, be it too heavy or even too light, you have to consider the 8.2oz it adds into the equation. For you, this may or many not be a good thing, depending on the end result you're striving for.The bridge plate itself offers a high gloss chrome polish on the bezel, which feels great against my palm. The bezel is also comfortably rounded, offering a different and more comfortable playing experience.The only thing I didn't like is the textured chrome plating on the base. I wish the entire thing was polished chrome. The textured look, to me, comes across as budget-oriented and cheap (which this bridge arguably is anyway). What I'm speaking of here is the metal base plate underneath the saddles and surrounding the pickup. It's an appearance I personally don't appreciate as much as the next person.Installation was simple since all of the holes lined up beautifully on my MJT body. It also lines up against my Warmoth Tele body as well. This is a 4-hole mount with the string through holes *behind* the mount screws. so this will not fit a vintage-style 3-hole setup.As far as tonal enhancements, I cannot speak to this as I've only installed this to a new partscaster. I did not replace a bridge yet just to see if I get more resonance, attack, sustain, and what not. But I can say that my Tele's tone is just as awesome as it ever was.Outside of all that, this is a very comfortable bridge for a Telecaster. I don't know which guitar I'm going to install the second one I purchased to, but I won't bat an eye over doing it. This is a great bridge for any Telecaster player looking to find added comfort and to get the added ability of fine tuning their intonation beyond a 3-barrel saddle setup. And yes, I definitely recommend. The 1 star was dinged for the textured plating - admittedly superficial, but something I wish they'd address later on.
