This Bigsby compensated bridge saddle is a genuine replacement part designed to restore original feel, tone and intonation on Bigsby-equipped instruments. Made from sand-cast polished aluminium, it delivers the bright, open response and fast attack that aluminium bridges are known for, while keeping weight low to support natural resonance. It’s a direct replacement for many Gretsch solid and hollow body guitars, making it ideal for maintenance or period-correct restoration work.
The saddle is pre-slotted with a 12" radius and compensated specifically for a plain G string, helping improve tuning accuracy across the neck when using modern string sets. With 2" string spacing and 2-13/16" post spacing, it drops straight into compatible bridge bases without modification. Whether you’re replacing a worn saddle or refining intonation, this genuine Bigsby part helps preserve smooth playability, stable tuning and authentic vintage character.
