My Glendale bridge plate arrived. Based on the recommendation from you fine gentlemen, I got:
Saddles - The "Twang" Cutting Edge set. Aluminum E/A, Brass D/G & B/E.
Bridge - The "Blackguard" double cut cold rolled steel vintage bridge-plate chrome plated
Looks beautiful and well-built. You can really see the workmanship in the saddles. As you can see in the photo, my E/A was missing the spring. Dale has been extremely responsive and helpful, so I'm sure it will arrive in a couple of days.
I read tons of posts on tdpri about bridges and saddles. Since this is my first tele, my entire education about bridges and saddles came from you guys. So big big thanks to everyone. I'm pretty sure this is going to be a twang machine.
Now I'm watching youtube videos on how to install pickups and bridge plates:
