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.

"Blackguard" bridge-plate |

cold rolled steel
vintage bridge-plate

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.
Comes with
4 aged stainless steel mounting screws.
