You're talking about between the bridge and the pickup? Looks like the old system with string mutes, only the mutes themselves are gone.

Unless I'm mistaken, that's what it is - the little metal pieces that held the foam.

Here's my old 78 Stingray - is that what you're talking about?

 

[silly]

yeah thats exactly what im talking about

 

[silly]

but i dont have those metal pieces between the pickup and the bridge
