Wilkinson M Series 54mm Threaded “Ashtray” Tele Bridge (Chrome) — Dual-Load, 3 Saddles

Overview

Classic Tele vibe with dial-in string positioning. This genuine Wilkinson M Series “ashtray” bridge features threaded 3-saddle design so each string can sit in its own groove—great for lining strings over pickup poles while keeping that bright, percussive Tele attack. The dual-load design supports both top-load and string-through-body setups.
