Tele hard tail bridge recommendation

[ZeeW]

Hi, I'm looking for recommendations for a hard tail bridge for a Tele that I'm thinking of building.  I'd also like it in black chrome or black.  I'm planning to use some heavy gauge strings for drop tuning B & A.

Any recommendations?

Thanks.

I don't know if you can get it in black but this is a good bridge-Rutters http://ruttersguitars.com/Hot_Rod_Parts.html,
here a good price and in balck selection http://www.guitarfetish.com/Fender-Style-Bridges_c_2.html, and if you have money to spend http://www.tisonix.com/shopping/main/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=66&zenid=e02a8v67rl3dalq87mph6vddb2

If you find yourself leaning toward chrome, I have an unused AmStd Tele bridge I'd let go for a reasonable price.


Separately, I'm quite happy with the Gotoh modern Tele bridge Warmoth sells.

Are you thinking of a flat mount strat bridge, or a tele bridge?  Most of the bodies in the showcase do not follow the Am Std hole pattern, the cabronitas being the exception.  But if you are going for the detuned sound, I was guessing that you were not after the traditional tele sound.  And if that is the case, than the traditional tele bridge is not required as well.

only comes in chrome
but
You just cant beat the AM Std Hardtail strat bridge

I have it on a tele I use HB strings on and it works great

The ABM 3456 lock down telecaster bridge.

That's an interesting bridge, that ABM part. I'm not finding any US distributors, though. Know of any?
