Hi all
building a Warmoth Telecaster with a Gibson scale neck.... probably a light swamp ash body with a black korina top, not sure if solid or chambered yet.
Pickups are a set of 3 Lollar C.Christian.
Got to parts and the idea is to retain as much twang as possible 'cuz the shortest scale may tame some of it.
I'd like to have a tele bridge: with:
-vintage dimensions 4 screws - 54 mm strings spacing
-way better if it has NO sidewalls! They get in the way...
-STEEL base plate, a must for twang and pickups magnetic field colors
-BRASS barrel saddles with compensated cuts
-forgot to mention... I need GOLD finish (that's hard, I know!)
The closest thing to this seems to be the Wilkinson WT3, used by Suhr in his signature Tele below.
You can angle the saddle and lock it when the intonation is acceptable.
BUT it still has those sidewalls making it non as perfect as I'm looking for.
Gotoh apparently has perfect bridges but they seem to only use titanium as base plates....
Looked at other builders but can't find one with Steel+Brass+NO sidewalls+Gold
Has anyone of you gotten into this hard search and found the one I have described above?
