Hi Guys
I was looking at getting a Squier Tele but then a friend recommended a dealer on Ebay.
I bought one of his Chinese Telecasters for £80,don't laugh it's excellent.
I have put an Oil City pickup in the bridge,and bought a new control plate complete with electrics.
Now I want to swop the bridge,it's got an ashtray type and I want a flat plate with individual saddles.
The only one that fit's the bill is a Hipshot for £79.95.
Do you think this is a bit over the top considering how much the guitar originally cost?
Comment appreciated.
Thanks
Alan

If it'll be gone in a years time,save your money and you'll be able to by a better guitar as a base to work on, or one that doesn't need modifying.
If it was good enough in 1952 it's good enough now!
By the way I agree I don't like the lip either. I realise you get used to it, but why should you have too.
Post a picture of the guitar and maybe we can help if possible, lay a ruler next to the bridge so we get an idea of string spacing, and the number and location of screws.
I'd check out the gotoh one, not too pricey, great quality, steel saddles and 4 screw fitting
