This Bigsby Sorkin bowtie bridge assembly is a faithful recreation of a classic design used on some early Premier and Rickenbacker models, making it ideal for vintage restorations or period-correct upgrades. Crafted from polished aluminium, both the bridge base and saddle contribute to a bright, open response with excellent note clarity, while keeping overall weight low to help the guitar resonate more freely. The distinctive bowtie shape also delivers an unmistakably vintage look, making it a great choice for players who want historically accurate hardware that sounds, feels and looks right on traditional Bigsby-equipped instruments.
The unslotted saddle features a 12" radius and is compensated specifically for a wound G string, helping improve intonation across the neck on traditional setups. With adjustable height posts, dialling in your preferred action is quick and precise, whether you’re matching an original spec or refining a modern playing feel. Designed to work seamlessly with Bigsby vibrato systems, this genuine replacement bridge delivers authentic looks, reliable performance and classic feel for players maintaining or upgrading vintage-style instruments.
