The "Blackguard"

cold rolled steel vintage bridge-plate chrome plated

 

Thin cold rolled steel .048 and thin plating are the magic ingredients.

 

The 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. All models are solid one piece construction with no welds in the corners. Free shipping on all orders. USA, Canada, & International.

The vintage Golden Era "Blackguard" relic

cold rolled steel vintage bridge-plate no-chrome

 

The bridge-plate adds more to your guitar's tone than you could ever imagine. This plate is made of the proper material (cold rolled steel) as they were in the 1950's. I am offering you a bridge-plate that has been polished and aged. Part of aging is the elimination of the chrome plating. The vintage Golden Era "Blackguard" does not have chrome, nickel or any plating. This is an extreme replication of a bridge-plate that is fifty-plus years old.
