Tele bridge decision problem

[Thurisarz]

I'm going humbucker in the bridge of my tele but i wonder sort of bridge i should get, it's either the Gotoh humbucker tele bridge

or a hardtail strat bridge

What would you buy?

I vote hardtail strat and a pickup ring.

if the pup is going to be nickel covered then i say a strat bridge and pup ring. If you are leaving it open with black coils then i say use the tele bridge.

i would say cut the 3 brass barrel telecaster ashtray bridge in half and mount said humbucker ala Jeff Beck.

Re: Tele bridge decision problem

you want a humbucker sound with sort of tele articulation right?

+1 on strat bridge and pickup ring.....plus it will be easier to change pickups.

Gotoh bridge -- the hardtail just doesn't look right to me.

the tele barrel bridge is the best no compromise!
