 |
|
Hey All,
I'm looking to change my Jap Tele bridge.
Was looking at the Wilkinson Compensated Bridge.. vintage style.
OR
Gotoh Modern Bridge with individual saddles.
What problems am I gonna run in? and which one would you suggest?
Thanks |

There's a couple of different Tele bridge configurations...I got caught out replacing mine. Just check your current bridge screw mounting holes, and string holes position against whatever you are buying. I have the compensated Wilkinson vintage style and it works great, but a modern bridge might be little different mounting hole wise.
The dimensions are on the web for these bridges (stewmac.com website is good) |

Yeh nice.
I was looking at the compensated wilk vintage style as it looks like a direct replacement.
Will I have any issues with string spacing and saddles you think?
You think any additional work needs to be done or just simple a quick replacement and set up the saddles / intonation?
I'm wondering if this is the compensated one I found on cranbourne music....
Seems to be a fair bit cheaper then the one advertised as 'compensated' on stewmac etc.
