It's a great looking slab of wood, for sure. And that bridge! Mine is from 83, and has a sort of lesser version of that bridge, so yours is kind of fascinating to look at. The saddles on mine are the same, but it's kind of just bent piece of metal for a plate. There's no through block, just a little routed channel under the bridge and some holes over it that you can hook the string ends into. It works fine and sounds surprisingly good, but I had no idea it was descended from a much greater bridge! What a cool, interesting guitar you found. Hngd, hnb!
This is an excellent rectangle
