Vintage Bridge and Tailpiece ID (Guild SF content)

[landoband]

I have a 60’s Starfire II bass that came to me with a replaced bridge and tailpiece. I’m thinking of replacing it with an original (which would mean lots of waiting and checking Reverb) or Alembicizing with brass replica parts from eBay. The current set up works fine I would just prefer a different look.

Just out of curiosity, can anyone ID this bridge? The saddles and cover look unique to me, I’m wondering if it’s MIJ. Any one know?

Thanks!

The bridge does look 70s MIJ. I’ve had basses and guitars from the Teisco, Kent, Kawai, etc family with the same U channel bridge and multi-slotted saddles.

It looks a lot, but not exactly, like the bridge on my Italian EKO short scale bass from the eighties. A generic cheap universal bridge maybe, as this particular bass was a low end model in its time.
