Most versions had the nylon saddles pictured here, though around late 71, early 72 some of these bridges were equipped with chrome plated metal saddles.

Those pictures are missing when I view the page. I can see all the others. Is this some kind of Jedi mind trick?

the info here dates them and i picked one up on the bay last week fairly reasonable. what the heck i'm going to do with it i have no idea, just wanted to know that i didn't get one someone had "repaired" with some strange saddles.

actually thinking i should have it and the studs rechromed or black chromed.
