I've got a pair of the Fender SCN noiseless in my American Tele... put them in about two months ago. The bridge pickup squeals like a stuck pig at any decent (jamming) volume. I had a tech at a local store today tell me that the bridge pickup is just shot and needs to be replaced. But I have read several posts - including one here - pointing to the metal bridge as the culprit.

Can anyone recommend a good replacement bridge? My current bridge is the classic Fender ashtray with the three bronze saddles. And will a new bridge really fix the squeal? The tone of the pickups is great by the way.

Thanks!!!
