Custom Telecaster Bridge Reccomendations

[Cactus Jack]

I'm planning my next Tele build, which will be a Nashville, and I'm looking to incorporate a unique bridge. I don't care about 3 vs 6 saddles, I'm really just looking for an opportunity to support a small US business doing cool stuff. I'm not worried about the cost.

The finish is Aqua Marine so I'm leaning toward Chrome or a polished finished vs nickel or aged.

I have bridges and parts from Rutters, Callaham, and Schroeder. I might go that route again, but if you know of any local small business builders that could use a few bucks please let me know. 

Thanks!

I am planning on Rutters for my build

I've always had good luck with Joe Bardon Bridge.  Another good one is Gotoh which is very high quality - but it's not made in the USA.

Are there any local machine shop type guys doing anything neat these days? Someone on their way to becoming the next Rutters, Callaham, Glendale etc. ?

Perhaps also check out rockrabbitguitars they sell a number of t-style parts. I have no idea of how big they are but they seem to have some cool stuff.

Well - you could always get Doug to make something...

My vote is with Doug making you one, too. His work is outstanding.
