The AU961 series employs the classic three-saddle design. The staggered brass saddles allow for individual string intonation that was not possible in earlier designs. The base plate is a faithful reproduction of the original and is steel. This is very important in a bridge of this style due to the effect it has on the magnetic field of the pickup mounted in it. The pickups are a matched pair of early 60’s voiced pickups that has been used for over forty years to create all styles of music from country to rock, and even jazz.

The AU962 series uses the same bridge assembly as the AU961 models, but in bright chrome finish. This model uses the same classic WVT-B single-coil pickup in the bridge position for the classic “twang” but is matched to the WVC mini humbucker. Mini humbuckers have a sound AU961TS all their own.
