Description
The Gotoh BS-TC1 is a complete vintage-style Tele bridge, made in Japan, pairing a traditional full ashtray steel plate with Gotoh's brass "In-Tune" saddles. It ships as a full assembly—plate and saddles together—for classic string-through-body or top-load mounting.
The "In-Tune" saddles are the highlight: unique grooving lets each string intonate far more precisely than old-school vintage barrels, but unlike other compensated designs they sit straight rather than at odd angles—so every saddle is reversible and usable in any position. The solid brass delivers deep, bright twang and sustain, keeping the classic Tele voice while fixing its tuning quirks. Finished in nickel with mounting hardware included.
Note: 10.8mm string spacing, 64.8mm mounting-screw spacing. Does not fit 3-screw "American Standard" or "American Professional" Tele bridge routing—confirm your body layout before ordering.
