That's the reason I had to replace the bent steel saddles that came stock on my American Standard Tele. Those damn screws were annoying.
Telecaster 3-saddle compensated bridge?

This is for a basic black, Squier Tele, that I'm putting the newly acquired DD TE-101 set into. The bridge is "ok", but looks and feels "cheap-ish." Part of the reason I was asking, is Wilkinson has a fairly nice 3-saddle bridge that's pretty reasonable. It fits the Squier price point. Changing Tele bridge pups is a bit of a PITA, so I was thinking about changing the bridge at the same time.

That is the bridge I use. Another note - that is exact bridge Jerry Donahue uses on his Vintage brand guitars as well as his Fret King model. It's not just an endorsement, he uses those guitars, especially the V58-JD (his Vintage brand signature).

That's interesting to know. The Tele in question currently has a JD in it. Maybe I'll snag it afterall. Then again, Wilkinson also makes a nice 6-saddle version too.

The JD is my favorite Tele bridge pickup.

Mine too. That's why it's moving over to my Fender "Brent Mason" project. I'm going to take the Squier back to a "plus" status with the DD's.
