Right bridge for 24 3/4" conversion tele?

[KarlPopper]

I'm building a tele around a 24 3/4" conversion neck and I'd like to get some suggestions about what bridge I should use. Right now I'm thinking about getting a Am Std. tele body with a stock bridge.  I'm concerned that some bridges might not allow the saddles to be adjusted properly for the new scale; they wouldnt be able to go forward or backward far enough.  Would a recent Am Std. bridge work OK?

Heres a pic of the bridge I'm talking about. I'm not sure if there are variants on this basic style.  Whatever I end up using, it needs to have 6 independent saddles.  Any comments or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

It is a drop in conversion neck so that you don't have to worry about these details. The good people at Warmoth have done the math already so that their 24 3/4 neck should work with any 25 1/2 fender spec body regardless of the bridge or any other factors. Cheers

It looks like that's the Gotoh bridge, which is a good part and highly recommended. But, I recently used one and found the saddle height adjustment screws to be much too long, so over time the trailing edge of your palm could end up looking like hamburger. I mentioned it here on the forum, and found out I wasn't the only one who thought that. It was suggested I change them to Graphtech "StringSaver" saddles, so I did, which cured the problem. But, it'll add $40 to the cost of the bridge. If you can find a source of set screws down in that size range, you could use the saddles that come with it, as there's nothing wrong with them and that would be a less expensive cure. Another suggestion was to grind the existing screws down to a reasonable length, but I wasn't confident that I could hang on to the little rascals while they endured the dreaded grinding wheel of doom. Or, maybe they won't bother you.

Just a heads-up.
