Replacement Bridge For Saga Tele

[jim]

International Luthier Supply has an awsome replacement bridge for those of you like me who became frustrated with their Saga Tele bridge due the the strings twisting the saddles and letting the set screws loosen up. This bridge has three screw holes just like the Saga's and the saddles are a different design which allows for snug setting saddles. I think it also looks better. The best part is that its only $10.
Check out their site if your interested. The picture on there makes it look like it has holes for a through body, but it is strictly a through bridge design. Part No. SE48

My black Saga T-Style is sporting a vintage Tele bridge from guitarfetish.

It has been extremely durable, and is very well made. I didn't pay that much for it, but it is highly recommended.

I got the guitarfetish bridge too, gold finish, along with all the other hardware. It was a pretty good price too, looks about like the cheaper lmi one in the link. You'll have to drill new mounting holes, but the pu fits right in. I'd say get the lmi one if drilling holes scares you.

The metal on mine is not as thick as the Saga bridge believe it or not, I thought that was the cause of the strings resting on the frets, but it turns out a shallow neck pocket is not that uncommon a problem. I routed it out a little deeper, I'm still in the "dry fitting" stage but I'm photographing the whole process just for fun.
