Line the bridges up, raise the action and use it for slide playing.  Then buy a real Tele with six individual intonable saddles.

sorry I didnt read to the bottom of your post about the compensated saddles, and also read on the tele forum that becasue of what theyre made of (not metal) you may lose the ground on the strings if they dont come into contact with the bridge plate.  

What are they made of if not metal? When I hear "compensated saddles" I think of something like the Wilkinson ones which are brass.

(Clicked on this thread thinking it was 50/50 whether it was going to be serious or a tele on fire.)

Wisdom!

Actually, 3 compensated saddles isn't so bad, and I really like how they look.
