That will be my next build, I want a traditional tele this time. I want to do a Koa carve top tele next but trying to line that up for my Christmas gift from the wife if you get me.
Tele contours - torn on what to do

Also, to save space on creating another thread. Is the Gotoh bridge the bridge of choice in these parts?

Gotoh's a very consistent high-quality parts maker. Whether the six-saddle modern bridge without the ashtray edges is for you is a matter of taste. Some folks think a Tele is only a Tele if it has an ashtray bridge with three brass or threaded steel saddles, but I prefer being able to adjust intonation on each string individually, as opposed to balancing the degree of out-of-tune-ness between two strings on a single shared saddle. YMMV. I prefer the Gotoh to other bridges also because it's clean - no logos, no obtrusive gimcrackery.

I went all contours with the Gotoh bridge.
Thanks for all the help.

Argg, now second guessing the bridge.

I only have 1 Tele, and it is contoured. I find it very comfortable to play, but I'm only talking from limited experience with Telecasters in general. In the end, I'd definitely follow stratamania's advice:

On an extremely beautiful Tele! Ian, I'm impressed every time I see that one.....Bagman67 said:
