WTB Tele vintage bridge and pick ups

Looking for some Tele parts for modding my Mexican Player.

After a vintage style brass saddle bridge and some pick ups that are a step up from the stock ones, possibly humbucker for the neck.

    It is entirely possible that, under the chrome finish, your stock saddles are brass.

    If you require a vintage-style stamped steel bridge, the screw and string holes should align with your stock machined-from-solid bridge.

    A valid alternative is to “borrow” the idea from the American Professional Telecaster of fitting bent steel Stratocaster saddles. This will provide most of the vintage twang for less money and with less work.

    I have a naturally aged Fender bridge with brass saddles in my parts drawer. TBH, aftermarket compensated saddles are preferable to the straight cut type.


    You say, atom bomb. I say, tin of corned beef.
