I have a 2013 US Fender Tele Standard and not too happy with the bridge- the screws are too long and the F branded saddles uncomfy. Had thought about replacing them, when I came across the Barden/Gatton bridge. Kinda looks ideal for me as I like the lipped design and the cutaway looks handy for finger-style playing. Just wondering if anyone uses one and their perceptions of it. Any problems fitting or with intonation etc?
Now the pickups-I queued up a bunch of YouTube vids and listened to them through a decent hi fi, whilst doing some housework. after a bit they kinda got much of a much-ness. Then the Bardens came on and really caught my attention. Not often i hear a guitar sound that makes me sit up and want, but these seem to hit the spot.
Then I saw the price...
They seem to get a good rep and I can just about justify the cost if they live up to it. so again any users on here, have any opinions or knowledge on them?
