In this archetypal version, Ted is said to have held the string saddles in position with a few simple conical spiral springs but finally decided on a single spring clip to fix them in place. This was much cheaper to manufacture than the six individual springs and cut assembly time down drastically.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn addition, on the classic Tune-o-Matic bridge, the six screws for adjusting the intonation are anchored in the housing on the side opposite the screw heads. This means that the string saddles rest on four points - the two screw ends and the two side \"shoulders\". Which in turn caused tipping and rattling of the saddles. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe, here at Göldo, have now integrated the good elements of the original Tune-o-matic bridge into a new, innovative bridge unit and cut the intonation screws to length in such a way that they don't touch the opposite edge of the housing, so that each string saddle only rests on three points - which gave this bridge its name. The result is an optimally solid construction that offers the best basis for a firmly articulated, sustain-rich and dynamic sound since no component can tilt or rattle which wastes vibrational energy from the string!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis bridge also features stainless steel saddles that lessen string breakage and offer a clear, articulate tone. To accommodate virtually all Tune-o-matic applications, one of the two 4mm holes for the mounting posts is designed as a longitudinal hole so that this bridge adapts to various spacings. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe intonation is adjusted with slotted screws which, due to their construction, point towards the tailpiece or tremolo.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePost Spacing:  From 72.3mm to 74.0mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDiameter of Bolts: Classic 4mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSaddle Material: Stainless steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBridge Material: Zinc and aluminum alloy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3-point design eliminates saddle tipping and rattling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e6 individual conical springs hold saddles in place\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eincludes mounting hardware and hex wrench.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Allparts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48564305133805,"sku":"GB-3904-003","price":97.92,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0085\/8118\/5613\/files\/aincridehgtfr3ez9dbf.png?v=1755631039","url":"https:\/\/musiccitycanada.com\/products\/allparts-gb-3904-003-goldo-3-point-vario-steel-saddle-bridge-black","provider":"Music City Canada","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
