Three Saddle Bridges for Telecaster Style Guitars

I am considering going from a six saddle to a three saddle bridge unit on my Telecasters. At this point I've identified a few possible sources: a dude named Dale in Texas, the Wilkinson bridge, the Callahan, and of course you can always use a Fender part.

Have any folks out there have any experience in changing over to these parts? By the way, my guitar body and neck is a G&L ASAT with Bare Knuckle Black Guard pickups.

Congrats, I couldn't believe the difference it made on both a late-60ies Tele I once had and the Fender Japan 50ies Tele I use now.

I used Seymour Duncan Antiquity Brass Saddles on both of these guitars and they work great.

I remember the price being way lower though a few years ago, I'm sure you'll find a better deal....

Yes Callaham are great do yourself a favour and get the Callaham bridge plate too -

Caution! Make sure you double check teh bridge width. The 3 saddle setups are specifically for vintage tray-style bridges.

These are narrowe than the modern style. Check with Callaham if they will fit

(Measure your 6 saddle setup string spacing width from low E to high E and email it to him).
