Saddle-Lock Bridge Transfers String Energy to Body
The LB-100 is equipped with an innovative Leo Fender-designed Saddle-Lock bridge. This unique bridge allows more string energy to pass directly into the body's resonant end-grain for an incredibly vibrant tone you can feel. The stout brass saddles also give you excellent intonation, tuning stability and punchy tone. Combined with the tonal attributes of the alder body, the Saddle-Lock bridge makes the LB-100 an acoustic powerhouse, giving your bass lines and chords immense presence in the mix or on stage.
