    M/M bridges

    I've noticed 2 different type bridges on a used Sterling & a Stingray. The bridge is larger than most and appears to have 4 poles or large screws just before the pickguard. Can you explain this, please.

    OK. Thanks. All I had to work with were pics. Would they be older models since I don't see the same style bridge on the newer models?

    The one pic I'm going by is on E-Bay. Item # 7395781248. If you can check that out and confirm I'd appreciate it.

    Nice.
