They did those? Anyways, they look similar to the Kahler ones and mount behind the nut.
Do we have any info for how long the Rockinger bridge was on ghe Kossoff before they put the Charvel strat bridge on?

After the Rockinger system was removed mid World Slavery Tour, the original Fender synchronized tremolo was reinstalled. There were no further changes made to the guitar.

The next bridge was not a stock Fender bridge. Maybe the base of it, but at least the saddles are brass. They look like Charvel ones. But yeah, it seems that since the retirement, the original bridge is back minus the tremolo arm, which is not original.

All the pictures from the second half of the World Slavery Tour, Somewhere on Tour, the Seventh Tour, and in retirement all show it with vintage Fender "Pat Pend" stamped saddles. There are pics of it with brass saddles, but those are from an earlier time, I believe Beast on the Road era.
