A good replacement
I purchased this bridge to replace the original 3-saddle bridge on my Pink Paisley Fender Telecaster (MiJ).
I didn't like the feeling of the ashtray bridge: it was too thin and it felt unconfortable for my picking hand.
The Göldo HW40C is a good replacement: it's a little bit heavier and feels very solid, which is exactly what I was looking for. Moreover the finish is very smooth and i really prefer 6-saddle over 3 saddle even if it looks less vintage.

High quality bridge
I bought this Kluson bridge to replace the vintage 3-saddle one in my tele mostly because I wanted to have per string intonation adjustment. It is extremely solid and it fits perfectly in the standard 4-hole pattern.
Pros:
-Solid piece of metal, very sturdy
-Excellent finish
-Very easy intonation adjustment
Cons:
-No big deal but I had to remove the saddles to access the four mounting screws.

I wanted to replace my guitar's traditional bridge which is Wilkinson sung-ill wtb with string spacing 10.8mm but I couldn't find easily information about the dimensions of Kluson HW 40C bridge. After seeking information and replacing my traditional bridge I want to say that it fits perfectly. I think if your bridge is same as my traditional bridge which has 4 screws to fix it will fit your bridge too.

Needed a little work
I was doing a major job on my Fender Telecaster and had to replace the bridge due to rust. I bought the HW40C which seemed to be good quality at a good price. However, within a week I started breaking 5th (A) strings which was highly unusual. I took a file to the bridge and smooth it out as best I could and since then it has been great.

Kluson HW 40C Telecaster Bridge
This is really an essential requirement for perfect intonation. Heavy brass with chrome plating! Leo Fender himself would approve wholeheartedly. He admitted that his development continued throughout the design of different models. At the time of the first Telecaster he had apparently not cottoned on to the importance of individual string adjustment. There are many factors that combine to produce the classic sound - Pickups, neck, bridge, etc. and each of us has an idea of what is more important. It was way back when string sets came with a wound G, (which was almost always the first to break), so I have no hesitation in changing to this. I still think about 96% of the sound is entirely down to the pickup. If not, I can always change back.

Lovely
Nice to have a saddle per string, nice to not have the stupid edges that my stock bridge had.

Review Kluson HW 40C
These bridges can be used on a new build or can replace the vintage style 3 saddle versions on any fender type telecaster - so if you want intonation to be correct on all the string you need one of these. They are very well made and also look like a quality piece of kit.
edit : 6 months use - Im re editing this review after using the product Im sorry to say these saddles are busting the E and B string very quickly. Ive had to remove the saddles more than once to smooth out the chrome which seems to be wearing through to the brass on the the 2 thin strings only. It looks a great product but that annoying development makes it unreliable as ive broke strings at gigs 5 times now its time to replace.
