Mini-Humbucker Tele Bridge?

[jalane]

I've always thought it would be rad to do a telecaster with 2 mini-humbuckers but with a standard tele bridge? Do these exist?  If so, does anyone have a link to where i could find one? I've done a bit of searching without much luck, the only bridges i've seen are routed for either single coil or regular humbucker.

thanks

there is an adapter ring to mount a mini hum in a standard hb opening

not sure if allparts has em... but they're out there

in concept... you could modify a HB bridge for tele to fit mini hum using a ring like that... I cant say I know or can predict how the elevation, saddle clearance, etc will turn out... but... if you have a bridge, and want to purchase a ring... then the rest of us can know

I have never come across a Tele bridge for a Mini-Humbucker but like CB mentioned, some modification can probably work.

TV Jones produces a Tele bridge for his 'Tron type of pickups ( https://tvjones.com/cgi-bin/commerce.cgi?preadd=action&key=02-011-0100 ).  Looking at the measurements, it seems the length of the Mini-Humbucker is about the same as the TV Jones "Trons but minus the mounting flanges for height screws.  The width of the Mini-Humbucker is slightly lesser than the 'Trons which will leave a slight gap but not that visible when mounted at dead-center.  What you can do is to bend the mounting flanges and sit the pickup on a block of wood wedged tightly inside the pickup cavity.  For pickup height adjustment, use shims to pad the bottom.  Just suggesting.

Thank you both.  I've been checking the web for those conversion rings. We'll see what turns up.

I checked the filtertron bridge out, and it looks like there would be about .2" extra for length and width.  Like you said, if mounted dead center, i don't think .1" gap on all sides would be too bad.
