New saddles for my tele bridge!

The modern 6 saddle type, I've looked in my local shops, and no luck.... anyone else got any recommendations of where to get them, and what to get!

Thanks guys!

you've got a 3 saddled bridge and you want a 6?...

seems most folks want to go the other way... want 3 for that twang..

what about the compensated 3's?..

What tele do you have? I have an American tele 6-saddle bridge laying around somewhere...

EDIT: I see in your sig it's a Mexican Tele? Anyone know if an American one will fit?

I was under the impression there was no difference regarding the bridges of Mexican Teles and those of their American counterparts in terms of direct compatibility, yet it's been quite a while since I last tinkered with one.

No no I have the 6 and I want a direct replacement! The six works well for me, and i find it easy to set up the intonation on it...I've heard of some issues regards to intonation using 3's!

Plus I would rather just get the saddles, and not a whole new bridge set (costs less!)

Blackcloud....if you have a spare one lying around, I'd be happy to part with some of my monies to relieve you of it!!

Either that, or Graph-Tech Saddles. I do like the Tusq Graph-Techs for Tele's.
