Hello.  Nice forum.

Just wanted to drop in and show off my Warmoth Tele.  The finish is called Tiger Eye.  It has an unfinished rosewood neck, Kinman pickups, Sperzel keys and a small ABN string-thru hardtail.  I left all the electronics very minimal so the flame maple can get all the attention.

A beauty. Tell me about that bridge, I'm not familiar with it.
 
I took a long time deciding on the bridge.  I knew I wanted a very small, modern string-thru bridge.  I definitely didn't want anything with a "plate", certainly not an ashtray.  This is because I knew I wanted to mount the pickups to the wood and because I wanted to cover as little of the wood as possible.  Plus I rest my hand on the bridge and anything vintage-style tends to be both uncomfortable and ugly -- that's why they used to cover it.  The current Strat stop-tail is OK and HipShot also makes a nice one but this is the one I finally decided on:

ABM is a German company that's best known for their bass bridges and tailpieces.  http://www.abmmueller.de/index2.html
Notice there's no "back" or "sides" to the bridge, it's just a plate and the saddles.  VERY nicely made, super comfortable and man it's got the look I was going for.
