You'd expect the bridge plates to be fairly interchangable with the "regular" ones though, in most cases. If not, let's drill.
My Tele was a warmoth body drilled for an American Std Tele and it dropped right on.

Yeah, as far as I can tell most plates are cut to a standard size.
Strat bridges on the other hand is extremely hit or miss. I had to some drilling with the SuperVee on my strat (as that was a Squier body).

You are, but most of us...
I used to be a 3 barrel person. Then I said fuck it, and bought a Gotoh Modern bridge. It's way better.

Aha. Figured you'd be one of the sticklers for form when it came to Teles.
No, I like to be in tune with good intonation.

Sometimes you actually make sense.

My buddy built this one for me from scratch (including carving the neck). It's solid maple. heavy as hell, and sounds and plays like a million bucks
My baja is the one I play most often though.
I love the one your buddy built. I like how the body and neck are kinda reversed (maple and dark). That is super cool.

Thanks. Yeah, it's a unique guitar. The fingerboard is ebony. The body is painted with one of those color shifting paints. It's purple/black, depending on how you look at it. Another friend did that for me in his autobody shop.
Hey, @dmn23, if you haven't gotten rid of the bridge that came with that (it WAS a Fender stamped steel unit, right?) I would be interested in it for this.
I also have this lovely beast.

Chad, who's going dictate the nomenclature so know what is and isn't a Tele?
I mean, these all work for me and so would Gordon's Yamaha Pacifica super-Tele (like this one):
...but I don't want to be wrong.
That's a Pacifica 1230S if I'm not mistaken. Would love to have one of those. There's a blue one on ebay in the US at the moment in need of some TLC but short of a large surprise windfall it's not coming my way.
