Brass saddles for a 6-saddle Tele Bridge?

[B2D]

Pretty simple question but I'm having a hard time finding what I'm looking for.

I want a bridge like this:

With brass saddles instead of steel.

Not the traditional three-barrel bridge with brass saddles. I do like them but not for what I'm trying to do. I want ^^that^^ but with brass saddles instead.

Anyone know where I can find such parts?

For the six-way, brass rod type of saddle to line up correctly with string hole, the intonation screw needs to be offset.

Stamped steel, vintage Stratocaster type saddles get surprisingly close to the traditional sound.

GraphTech saddles are made in various materials and widths. They probably have something that would suit.

The 10.8mm gotoh bridge shown wouldn't quite line up with that... there'd be a small amount of space for lateral movement - can't have that. Although now at least I know what measurements to look for.

I've tried graphtechs before and I couldn't stand what they did to my tone on one of my guitars. I took them off right away.

Stew Mac has some chrome plated brass saddles for a modern Tele bridge.

I have a bridge like this one on my Tele. I bought it on ebay a few years ago because I prefer brass to steel tone-wise, but can't stand the horrible intonation of the tradition barrel-saddle bridge.

That looks like it might be the Gotoh modern-style Tele bridge. If so, there are brass saddles available for it made by the same company.

It is, and I found 'em.

I remember seeing these saddles a few times over the years. Anyone know who made/makes these?
