TVB-Bridge, Nickel, Telecaster® Bridge for Bigsby®

TVB-Bridge / High Performance Telecaster® Bridge for Bigsby®

This bridge represents the ultimate solution when it comes to combining tuning stability in with the highest demands on sound and feel.

The compensated KMS „TVB-Bridge“ is initially designed for the usage with a Bigsby® or similar tremolo(vibrato) system. It dramatically increases performance, tone, intonation and tuning stability on your guitar.

The specially coated "TV-Rail+" Brass Saddles guarantee an exact, smooth sliding of the strings over the saddles. No sticking or clamping of the strings. The special designed V-grooves just have the right fitting for all string gauges. All strings naturally have a perfect, safe and tight contact surface to the saddles and create a perfect fusion to the bridge and hence to the guitar body.

No matter if you prefer very light, extremely heavy or mixed sets of strings gauges, our TV-Rail Saddles take them all. This also makes them ideal for players who want to try out or change different string gauges from time to time. You want to play a set of strings with a wound G-String? No problem! Just turn the middle saddle once around the longitudinal axis and go for it.
