Part 1
Part 2
Keith Holland from Keith Holland Guitars and Guitar Hospital shows us 3 different Tele bridges, some vintage, some not so vintage. But since the bridge is one of three places where strings touch the guitar, it pays to understand what works best for your guitar. Note that the Tele bridge is somewhat simpler than a tremelo Strat Bridge.
