vintage looking bridge for Am. Standard?

[DJU]

hi, is there a direct replacement (no drilling, uses same screw holes) vintage looking bridge for the Amnerican standard Tele? I have looked around but the replacement bridges that I have found are only for vintage models. I guess they have different mounting screw locations or something. Callaham had something but it didn't have the raised sides. Thanks for your help,

i think callaham is your only choice, unless you know a good metal fabricator. then you have to pay for plating...

i actually dont like the lips on the vintage tele bridge. i find that they get in the way when i play from time to time.

Glendale sells one but it's not cheap.

thanks for the replys.
yes, the Glendale bridge is pricey at $99 and that doesn't include saddles. those are another $50+ dollars.
Kindof expensive just to get that vintage look and see how it changes the sound. I'm going to have to think about that or find a cheaper alternative.

thanks again,
dj

I have a Glendale on my Amer. Std. Tele. I like it a lot. It has a chrome finish so it matches the rest of the hardware. Last time I checked, which was quite a while ago the Callaham was nickel only.

Doesn't the Fender vintage RI bridge screw right in place?

Different number of screws in the vintage vs. Am. Std. I believe.

And they're in a completely different location as are the holes that pass through the body for the strings. They're completely different designs.
