higher-quality guitar and bass bridges.  With help from Leo Malliari of Leo’s Music in Oakland, CA, the first “Badass” bridges were born.  “Leo Quan Badass” bridges were manufactured from a high-density Zinc alloy and offered improved attack, sustain and note-clarity.  Badass® bridges quickly gained a following with artists looking to upgrade their Fender® basses and were ultimately featured on several Fender artist signature models.  Through the ‘80’s, BC Rich, Spector and Kramer featured Badass bridges as original equipment on their instruments and artist acceptance continued to grow.  Today, Badass is known worldwide as the standard for quality replacement hardware that will enhance the tone, playability and appearance of your guitar or bass.         \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\n\u003ca name=\"_Hlk186714409\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003eBadass T1™ Replacement Bridge for Tele® \u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBigger, Bolder, Badass Tone!  Designed as a direct-replacement bridge for most Fender® Tele® models, our Badass T1™ bridge offers players a noticeably bolder attack, accentuated low-mids, and sustain for days!  Players desiring a bigger, bolder tone from their Tele will love the deep, resonant growl the T1 brings to their tone.  Using a unique shim system, saddle height adjustment screws are eliminated greatly improving comfort and maximizing transference of string energy through the bridge and body.  The result is “next level” sustain and sonic heft on par with the industry’s leading set-neck guitar designs.  If you’re ready for an incredible new combination of note-clarity, punch and sustain, you owe it to yourself to rock a T1.  Afterall, why settle for ordinary when you can be BADASS!       \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul type=\"disc\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSolid zinc bridge plate and saddles offer fuller, more-immediate attack, enhanced
