Does anybody know of an inexpensive 3 brass saddle tele bridge? I'm looking at the Fender one from Musician's Friend.

Well, only 3 pieces left!
I bought all of the rest of the parts last night except for the ferrules (which someone said they will send over to me :rock-on: ) and the pickups, which I will need to work hard to afford (fralins, I've chosen)
I also decided to buy a on/on switch. I'm going to wire this up to bypass the volume and tone controls, so it should work as almost a lead switch, but possibly a mega-tone switch.
Any opinions on that? I thought it would be nice, since some people only put a volume knob to not change the tone, so my thoughts were that no pots should give the pickups as much tone as possible. I think/hope. Either way, if I really don't like it, a new control plate is all that's needed.

Max- For your on/on switch plan, I think you may have the same idea as I did for a switch I am going to have on the Sorceress. I want a double throw toggle switch- one position will be the tone and volume as normal, and the other position will bypass both. So in essence it will create two presets that i can switch back and forth on in a nanosecond... also it will allow for a killswitch effect if i turn the volume control all the way down. I'm putting it between the tele tone and volume on the body.
I hadnt heard of anyone else doing that - i think it is the best idea around. I had questions whether people thought that the tone/volume bypass side of the switch should have a capacitor to give slight resistance at all? has anyone ever done this before?

Cool! Actually, I thought up the idea...
because I found switches.
We have a good amount of micellanious electronics around my house, and I was thinking of different layouts for a control panel. I considered coil tapping, putting something out of phase, etc..
But I didn't want to buy an even more expensive humbucker, since the fralin I'm going to order is already $120.

For that price, that pickup better play the guitar for you. I don't think I'd ever pay $120 for a pickup.
So, I thought I'd go back to the RG site, and look around.
So, the price for the buffalobucker, the one with a lower output and more vintage sound, is $130; a bit more expensive than the fralin. If anyone here has tried both, or even just one, please share your opinion.
The tele singles are $76, which is $4 shy of the fralins. Again, opinions most welcome.
Seymour duncan 'buckers are a bit more on the affordable side, but the pickups are the part I want to be the pickiest about.
Oh, btw, a possible rig, probably in a few months around my birthday (december).

Big Muff Pi
Digitech Wammy pedal
This thing that I'm building
Maybe an equalizer
