    Neck is Maple, very sweet. I'm gonna go with a Gotoh 6 saddle.
    I suppose thats the only modern thing I've got goin'. I have copper
    tape to go throughout & all the best electronics. Can't wait to start
    on it. I'll post some pics one I start. Thanks for you support.

    yeah totally. I'm all for a 6 saddle bridge. keith richards stuck an am. std. bridge on his blonde 52 (looks like on more than one of them) and it sounds great. Intonation and playability, and not a huge difference in tone... you go with what you like.

    Exactly, I'm going with what I want. I've had the Brass saddles on a
    52 RI with Bardens (BTW, wish I never sold that), but this is what
    want so I'm going with it. It's gonna be awesome.

    Teles and tele derivatives are the only guitars I really like to play. Strats come second as I really just can't get used to the tremolo.

    My collection just keeps getting bigger. At around four teles and one strat.
    For people feeling the need to try something experimental.
