Bridge Identification Wanted on my SG

[ollysmit]

I own a 1983 Special, with colour natural satin nitrocellulose - in other words silver / pearl. I have a single piece bridge, that must have been factory fitted, as the guitar as not been repainted and no holes are present. S/N of the SG is 82223502. Could someone please tell me about the exact origin of this model, and if indeed the bridge was factory fitted? I can email pix if required.
Thankx

Pickups...

I am also trying to figure out what pickups are installed: two humbuckers.

Welcome Olly...

From your avatar, I'd ssay that looks like a Schaller / Badass-type bridge. Can you post a bigger image?

 

[ollysmit]

Thanks for the quick reply..and the welcome...but how do I post an image? I don't have a website where I can post this.
I can send you an email. reply to [email protected]

That's the Schaller unit. I have one of those on my SG special along with a set of Schaller tuners and the guitar does NOT go out of tune.
