the tele that i had was the best fucking bridge/ pup design ever!
i wish they would have done a g&l jaguar, that would have been amazing.

A mate of mine just got a G&L Tribute ASAT. I think it is of better quality that a Jap Fender. Seriously sexy thing.

A no name brand from a very, very helpful guy Steve @ http://stores.ebay.com/Music-City-Mania
Inexpensive to boot!

i replace a MIM bridge with a Wilkinson, same as the one on your first post - had to re-do the holes on the strat body but went in fine.

main reasons for swapping were 1) sustain, 2) block saddles rather than vintage style

i use it with locking sperzels and an LSR. stays in tune really well, despite the lack of roller saddles. Did try the fender floyd at one point:

which was great for tuning stability but just couldn't get my head around using an allen key to replace strings. also setting up the intonation was an absolute biotch since they decided to put the hex screws to adjust each saddle *underneath* the base plate of the trem... genius...

All the Wilkinsons with the newer type saddles I wanted were 10.8 not 10.5. I saw they had several others but I wanted the sleek one where the string is lower than the sides.
