Buyer beware. Chinese 'Ibanez style' bridge, bought from a Chinese seller on eBay. Strung with Dunlop Super Bright 45-105 Nickels. You should be able to see in the photo below that the base plate has bent after the rearward fixing screws producing a gap at the back of .040" (1mm). Not good

Absolutely! In comparison to a decent steel plate and brass saddles, I noticed a difference in tone too. The cheapy didn’t sound as rich. It was the slightest difference, you probably wouldn’t notice it up loud. I think it’s because the cheap bridges are cast out of.. well, any old material they can get cheap.. because, it’s cheap!
