What is your favorite fixed bridge and why?

[WarmothRules]

I love the gotoh wraparound. It's the most comfortable TOM style bridge, IMO.

I have a hipshot fixed bridge. It's nice, but I have a few gripes.
1. I have an early one, amd the saddles are soft. The high e string cut a groove in the saddle and created a buzz. I fixed it easy enough. First and only time this has happened in 25 years.
2. The super tiny hex wrench needed to adjust the saddles.


My favorite flatmount is the ibanez tite end series.

Best feel under palm ever! Plenty of adjustment range, and locking saddles. They have only 1 height adjust screw per saddle due to the tight tolerances of the block saddles.

That’s a solid looking bridge

Favourite: Telecaster bridge.
Why: Because it's attached to a telecaster.

Which? All 3 are super solid

The ibby ones also have locking saddles.
Note the "hinges" where the saddle meets the intonation screw as well.

They're very well designed bridges.

But what makes a tele a tele. The bridge or the shape
