The American Standard Blackguard bridge-plate is made out of cold rolled steel like the original Teles of the 1950's. This plate will give your guitar a very smooth balanced tone emulating the sound that Leo changed the world with. The highs, mids and lows balance out equally giving the bridge-plate warmth and twang. This magnetic bridge-plate is designed to look and sound like the original but has all of my upgrades. The sides and front corner are polished chrome with a thin plating, the thin plating is very important to the tone. I leave the middle unpolished for the vintage look and vibe. The plate thickness is true to vintage .048, which is a major key in tone. If you make the plate too thick you will lose twang, harmonics and tone. The bridge-plate retrofits right on to your American standard Tele. I feel it is time to turn American standard Teles into Twang-casters! You can use my Intone saddles and choose from a wide variety of different metals to achieve your tone. The plate thickness is true to vintage .048. Included are 3 intonation screws, 3 mounting screws, and 3 springs. All models are solid one piece construction with no welds in the corners. Free shipping on all orders.

The Glendale American Standard bridge-plate is a topnotch replacement for the American Standard guitars. Sales and customer reviews have been remarkable. We are tooling back up to make more. Note from Dale Clark owner of Glendale Guitars. "I have a lot of other projects in front of this one. I estimated that I will have my American Standard bridge-plates back in full stock around August. Until then I do have these two models in stock."
