Single Blade Bill Lawrence L250 for Tele - closest thing?

[Blille]

Howdy, I have a long term project of building a replica of Mike Stern’s old Tele.

I can do a 59 for the neck but the bridge is afaik a single blade Bill Lawrence L250.

Current production of “Bill Lawrence USA” is not an option (and I don’t want the convo to go there, please).

So, what is the closest current alternative? Alternatively is you have a vintage one, lmk

I believe that the design of the pickup was pretty unique.

Hasn't Mike used a Hot Rails or a Lil '59 or something for quite awhile?

EDIT- if the L250 is what you want, why not get that? There's an old cream one on Reverb for $65 right now.

He’s been using a Hot Rails since the 90s, which is my plan b.

Thanks! But I want black (and it looks like the listing is for the strat model). I’ll just have to be patient.

I’ve been looking for one for a while but haven’t been lucky. I also don’t know if I would trust used unless it’s from a forum member. Don’t want to end with one of the new ones.

I also checked Wilde and they don’t have it on the site. I emailed Becky but haven’t heard back.
