There was never 1966 Teles made in a shop where Leo works. ;)

I will be a LOT cheaper to buy a period correct Mustang bridge...same saddles.
I think you meant Musicmaster or Duo Sonic... However, they were not the same. Many, most or all circa 66 Musicmasters and Duo Sonic bridges with coarse threaded saddles had Allen head height adjustment screws, which were also of a different diameter than the slotted head height adjustment screws on the Tele saddles. No three saddle Tele bridge ever had Allen head height adjustment screws in the 50s, 60s or 70s.
