Telecaster Brass Micawber Style Bridge Plate And 'Keef' Saddles

Armadillo Guitar are a small specialist machine shop based in Austin, Texas, USA.  They primarily make guitar parts for Telecasters, which include several signature bridge and saddle combinations.  This solid brass bridge is designed to replicate the one used by Keith Richards on his 'Micawber' Telecaster, a guitar with great provenance.  The 'Keef' saddles are also made of solid machined brass, with quality and great attention to detail.

If you were looking to upgrade or are building a Telecaster, then this would be a great addition.

Brass is a great material to make guitar bridges and saddles from.  It is softer than the strings, but hard enough so the strings won’t dig into it if the angle of the string crossing the saddle is not too steep.  This result generally is less string breakage from excessive wear.
