Poplar body tele

[solspirit]

That's strat saddles not tele. With that kind of bridge don't expect a genuine tele overtones. The secret is the ash tray with brass saddles.

I wouldn't really expect to get much of that if I use a JB.

[Mincer]

Yeah, I think the JB obliterates any 'Tele-ness' by using a non-vintage bridge.

the do make three saddle humbucker tele bridges but with a jb it will make less difference. i still might do the three saddle cause i like em

The intonation benefits of using a 6 saddle bridge far outweigh the tone benefits of the 3 saddle brass Tele bridge IMO. Unless, of course, your only objective is to create a completely genuine Tele sound at all cost.

Compensated brass saddles get me pretty darned close to where the 6 saddle bridges get me, intonation-wise.
