Very good - unless you do a lot of palm muting
Good quality bridge with an interesting saddle design. If you palm mute a lot playing rhythm, for example playing punk or metal you might want to look elsewhere.
The problem is that the strings don't go across the top the saddle like a standard modern bridge. Instead they emerge from somewhere below the top of the saddle. Because of this resting your palm on the bridge doesn't mute the strings, instead you have to mute in front of the saddle on the string itself which is much harder to control. For the same reason the saddles feel unusually high off the body and can obstruct fast rhythms, especially when string skipping.
Admittedly a tele is not usually a heavy guitar and for some styles being prevented from muting may be an advantage.

Perfect for Tele with a humbucker
I bought this because I am making a custom Tele style guitar with a Gibson P-498T in the bridge and a Seymour Duncan P90 in the neck, so I wanted a good quality Tele style bridge, but a more modern one. It is great bridge, very adjustable, sturdy, heavy material. I think it's zinc with chrome plating. It is a lower range version of the other Babicz bridges. When I install it and try it I will write how it feels when played.
