Is this a Fender bridge?

[ReidK]

I bought this on ebay.

At first I thought this was a Fender Deluxe bridge, judging from the gooved plate and the saddles, but the plate is actually made of two pieces that are screwed together: a flat bottom plate, and the bar that holds the string ends and intonation screws. I haven't seen a Fender bridge like this before and I didn't see it on the Fender web site. The deluxe bridges that I've seen are just the one-piece bent type that are thicker than standard.

It seems very well made, but just what is it? Anybody know?

Thanks.

Aha, you're right! I found it on the American Standard Jazz on the Fender site. It looks like they've upgraded the bridge on the American Standards. In fact, this would seem to be a better bridge than the current Deluxes have.

Thanks!
