3-saddle Tele bridge > everything
If I had to pick from that list, I'd say string-thru + tune-o. String-thru just seems like the smartest design IMO: more resonance = better tone.

Re: bridge system. your choice?
string thru body hardtail is how i roll. i switched to graphtec stringsavers on my guitar, less high end which i got used to, but i can pound the hell out of my guitar now and its super comfy on palm mutes. plus i think string thru gives a beefier tone, especially with a thick body.

Well,the string thru improves resonance and sustain so thats what i voted for,but i also really like the advantages of a wrap-over bridge (less string tension,etc).

I agree with Lazer Razer.
Sustain and Resonance is increased. That gives the guitar a rich sound and the notes seem to ring forever. Great for Harmonics.

From these 3, I'd take the wraparound, because the point where the strings meet the bridge are closer to the body than tuneomatics.
But if I could choose something not on this list, I'd take the good old Fender hardtail type bridges.

Re: bridge system. your choice?
thanks for the replies guys!
my apologies, was out of town. i personally prefer string-thru with a t-o-m bridge followed by a wraparound.
i will be ordering a tele body with a t-o-m configuration. sadly both usacg and warmoth do not offer the string-thru/t-o-m rout. i reckoned i can spec for a t-o-m and drill the holes for the strings but i am not confident of pulling it off.
any advise?
thanks as always!

Re: bridge system. your choice?
I'm not a fan of any bridge that causes the strings to go through the body. I find the guitar has more life if the string is mounted to the bridge. I like top-loaders, so of the three, I say the stop-bar with TOM, but I'll take a topload 6 barrel Tele bridge any day.
Or a Floyd.

Re: bridge system. your choice?
I love wraparound bridges. There's only one solid piece holding the strings. The downside is that intonation may never be absolutely perfect, but if it's a good guitar, it can be intonated almost flawlessly. The sustain on a wraparound is very noticeable and a big plus to me :fing2: Doesn't hurt that it looks bad*ss too!

Re: bridge system. your choice?
pardon me, how do wraparounds sustain more? i had the impression that strings through the body will generally result in more sustain and resonance.
i do agree that the look of a wraparound do kick behinds!
