Who’s got an RSD bridge?!?!?

[_jojo_bass]

I’ve been searching high and low, all over the place. I’ve been waitin for one to pop up but I’m praying someone reaches out if they got one they’re willing to part with

For those who are unaware, theyre the standard upgrade CS bridges fender made and they were available for a short period of time.

Please hit me if you got one! It’d be the coolest.

i'm not sure they ever were!

i've certainly never seen one except in pictures. as it stands the current regular US bridge is functionally the same thing, it has the same saddles and fits the same mounting pattern

the video says they were gonna be available but from all my research i’ve just seen some thatve been parted out and replaced, but just throwing a feeler out for one

IIRC that bridge was offered for about 30 seconds 10 or 15 years ago. It was quickly modified to the one @walterw has posted.

either way i wouldn't trade any of them for the bridge i have now, the first-gen american standard bridge

this one was low mass but was perfectly solid being string-through only, it had steel saddles instead of brass for a little extra clarity, and it had narrower grooves that allowed for perfectly even, symmetrical string spread for both 19mm and 20mm spacing

the newer ones have wider grooves in the saddles (and bass side wider than treble side) which makes it impossible to get perfectly even string spacing, you can only get them sort of even, with the bass strings being a little off from the treble strings

The closest equivalent I think you’ll find is the Hipshot Style-B with the Screw/Notched saddles

Source: have also been wanting one of these since I saw Fender’s video. They never made them available, and I’ve only seen like one or two on Reverb. So, I stick with Hipshot.

Is this set up left handed?

nice!

you do have the saddles backwards though; the wider grooved saddles are meant for the bass strings, that keeps them from skipping over a groove if you string it through the top instead of through the body
