Telecaster Half Bridge

Hi

This may be a long shot but does anyone know of a manufacturer that makes a telecaster half bridge that accommodates 6 saddles and is finished in nickel?

Thanks

Nothing springs to mind. Suppose you could grind a full size one down?

The closest thing would be, of course, a hardtail bridge.

The short Tele bridges tend to be the stamped steel type with three brass rod saddles.

Obviously, a hardtail Stratocaster bridge would fit into the available space but the relative positions of the string holes and the fastening screws are different.

There is that. Suppose I had a new build in mind. 

What kind of tele are we talking about?

Nothing a hacksaw and file won't solve

Could you redrill the back lip of the half bridge to take 6 saddles? I did the opposite on a Squier Bullet Mustang and fitted 3 saddles to a Six saddle hardtail Strat type of bridge plate.....not particularly difficult, I still have the empty Tele half bridge plate of you want it....ot doesnt give the Nickel thing, but who would know?...

Its made by a company called Haar in the Netherlands but its pretty much like a vintage '54-ish tele
