Gotoh GE103B-T - Nashville-style Tune-o-matic Bridge (choose finish)
Regarding saddles: I’m looking for a bridge that is drop ready, can you confirm if the saddles on the bridge will require being notched out or if the saddles have already been notched?
Regarding intonation screws: I have seen a number of listing for this product details list “slotted” intonation screws, as in a Allen (-) head; then the image shows the intonation screws that appear to a Phillips (4-sided + ) or possibly a Hex (6-sided * ) head. Can you please confirm the type of screw head and metal used for the intonation screws?

They are sold as advertised/pictured: the saddles are pre-notched and the screws are philips. Note, there is no such thing as a drop-in-ready TOM bridge. The notches in TOM bridges are only guides to make slotting easier. Proper installation of any TOM bridge (from any brand) should always include slotting to the correct width/depth for your strings. While many people just drop them in and use them with only the existing notches, that is technically incorrect and may lead to issues.
