Looking to buy a vintage fender jag, the bridge looks quite different than any other one I have seen, there's a piece of steel that appears to be fixed to the bridge with an overhang on the treble-side. The strings also look like they're sitting on top of this piece of steel and not touching the saddles. The guitar is 5 hours away from me so I don't want to make the drive and spend thousands of dollars on something irreversibly modified.

Any help is much appreciated, thanks!

Edit.. is it just strung wrong??

I think you might be referring to the mute:

Yeah, it was the mute. no foam left on it and from the angle of the picture available, it looked like the metal was touching.

guitar sold anyways, was a pretty good price for a pre-CBS jag.
