Tele brass saddles on a strat?

[Quencho092]

was just wondering how a strat would sound with telecaster brass saddles...

I'm pretty much transforming my strat into a Jazz strat-got the flatwounds in today, and just figure the brass saddles would give it that dark chimey touch of ....a tele?

I've done it before...it's kind of a pain in the @ss to drill teh bridge plate, but it can be worth it.

what strat did you do it on? I have the offset saddles so i might be able to mount them on fine since the holes are almost right between the strings.

There are guys on Ebay who sell full brass bridges with the modern saddles. I got a black one for my Tele project. I'm not a fan of the compensated brass saddles.

you won't...I thought you wanted 3 tele saddles...if you are looking for brass saddles they can be found on ebay from time to time, but not in the new AS offset set up
