Anyone know what bridge is on this Musicmaster?

Seem to keep finding cheap 70s refin Musicmasters this month lol

Just picked this oddball up and it has this weird bridge on it that I haven’t seen anywhere before . Anyone know what it is, who made it and what it’s worth?

I have no idea but I’d guess it’s something from Eastern Europe. It looks like some kind of homemade Soviet contraption!
Have you checked inside it for hidden microphones?

Definitely looks homemade. No idea where those saddles came from.

I'm pretty sure I've seen something like it before but can't for the life of me figure out where. I was thinking East German but nothing I can find aligns with it

I had to "quote" the post & then copy the image line into a new browser window.

Ah now I see.
That bridge is off an English Shergold or Hayman guitar, btw

I see an almost identical one in front of me on my Modulator , but mines a 12string

Actually looks good on that Shergold instead of tacked onto my Musicmaster
