I don’t know how this is so cheap, the pickup sounds amazing and the bridge looks amazing, it’s super easy to install and works great

Saddles are threaded steel, not brass as depicted. But given the price, the bridge is pretty much free since pickups alone cost this much. And it intonated perfectly with no adjustment needed. Nice Fender.

I used this for an upgrade on my tele - great to be able to just put the whole unit in, with little fuss, and it has the 'correct' sound - very happy.

Quality product and fit perfectly in my Squier Paranormal Offset Telecaster without any modifications. Mine came with bridge screws.

Cleaner tele bridge. Sounds great and fits neatly in the 60’s tele sound where the pickups were wound on the lighter side and not “hot”at all. Great sounding pickup with bridge and saddles for cheap

I used this as a replacement for the original bridge and bridge pickup on my MIM Classic '60s Telecaster and it sounds and works great. The bridge and threaded steel saddles may be the same as the original (they look identical... I'm not sure if there are any differences in construction), but the pickup is significantly better quality, with a real metal baseplate rather than the plastic that the original pickups came with. The swap also improved some issues I was having with lack of resonance and sustain on the bass strings and some "sitar" sounds on the unwound strings. I'm not sure how much of that is due to the pickup, the bridge, or just luck in how everything came together when I installed the new parts, but whatever the reason, it's a big improvement overall. If you like the kind of scooped, trebley '60s tele sound, this is a great choice... and an even better bargain if you actually need the bridge (for a parts build or something like that). Not everyone loves the threaded steel saddles, but they're accurate for the era and are working fine for me in this instance.

Good value on a better than average sounding pickup. I'm about to buy my second one. Put the first on a barncaster Esquire made of 100 year old pine and a Squier neck, basically a 1949 prototype copy. Definitely has that 50s twang to it, very authentic and clean. Bridge is standard issue, not fancy but good quality. I notched it so my fingers didn't drag the side plate, a common mod. Understand you are getting a country twanging pickup, and there isn't a way you can go wrong with the combo. I'm building several barncasters and expect to use this exclusively for them.

This bridge assembly is one of the best values out there for people building a partscaster. In one package you get a telecaster vintage style bridge, 3 steel saddle assemblies, and a Fender 62 custom bridge pickup. Compare the price of this kit to a comparable vintage bridge assembly less the pickup, and you will find that the pickup only adds like 20 bux to the price!So far I'm really happy with the tone I get from this pickup. It is snappy and twangy enough to let you know you are playing a Tele, but has enough guts for more modern rock sounds, particularly if you set up your guitar with 4-way switching. Very satisfied.
