Top loading bridge with "open" string slots

[Super Locrian]

Hello

Short but sweet - I am looking for something like this for guitar, so far I have only found bass bridges with this type of design. It allows both string trough and top loading. Any suggestions?

Isn't that pic one for guitar? Or is that 6 string bass?
This Wilkinson allows string through or and top loading, but it's 3 saddle and more of a Tele type:

I don't know of anything that has those requirements, it's the 'open string slots' thing combined with string through that kills it dead.

@ Si G X - do you know of any bridge that looks like this without the string trough holes? That's still interesting.

Grind out some holes on the back of a Breadwinner bridge? Could work if it doesn’t get completely destroyed. Ironically the bass version on the Magnum was top loading, but not string thru.

I know I've seen bridges with those drop in slots on guitars.... Lemme have a look around.

Ibanez Gibraltar Bridge, looks like it does have rear slots and string through too.

Yes! This checks all my boxes. Thanks for helping me out!

Thanks to Carcinogen as well, I was not aware of the Breadwinner. The Ibanez is closer to what I have in mind, and probably easier to find 2nd hand as well.

No problem! Im always here any time anyone needs impractical advice for desecrating obscure hardware from the 70’s

No worries, I want one myself now too.
