I guess your experiences were different than mine...? Obviously doing a bunch of changes at once makes it hard to determine exactly what is making the most significant change. However I can actually feel a dramatic increase in the resonance and liveliness of the guitar before even plugging it in... I'd say the Glendale bridge and saddles is probably responsible for that. With the SD pickups and new cap it all adds up to a delicious, twangy, growly, smooth and jazzy Telecaster. Suffice it to say I'm very happy with the changes. It was already a nice guitar. Now it's a REALLY nice guitar...
