Although I suppose that lone bridge piece that accepts them is a pretty nifty way of having a mostly-original and simple/cheap bridge design on an original guitar, and I like how the shape of it around the mounting screws lets it be used as a through-body hardtail or a bridge in a separate vibrato tailpiece design.

3-saddle Tele bridges are notoriously known for adding up to ten times more mojo to the guitar. If Fano gets away with selling guitars equipped with 3-saddle bridges for a couple thousand bucks each, then there should be something special about those 3-saddle bridges... or not.
