Rude, AND truthful.
Need me? I'll be at the bench refretting a Les Paul.

Just because it is "truthful" doesn't mean you have to be rude. You don't have to go up to someone and say "wow, you are ugly", even if it's the truth. Just keep it to yourself. It's called "good manners". That's what keeps society running smoothly. I feel like your mother teaching you things that you were never taught (or you never learned).

there is no reason for anyone to be rude here. if someone wants to act like a jerk in the real world, thats fine. in this little corner of the internet, lets play nice with each other.

there is no tele jbjr in the lineup that ive ever seen, they have a hotrails and lil59 for tele but not jb jr (or cool rails for that matter) so im sure they could do it but you wont find it on a shelf.

A Cool Rails set for Tele would be killer, tbh.

I've never altered a Strat pickup to fit a Tele, but I'd be interested to know how.

Maybe attaching one to a tele baseplate with hot glue or silicone would work?

Maybe, I don't know. I am sure someone here has done it.

 

[GuitarDoc]

^, Probably. Heck we've even seen that someone has tried "painting" their guitar using a crayon!

I've actually got a brand new JB that I was going to put into another guitar that I don't want anymore. Where did you get the picture?

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

 

[GuitarDoc]

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.
