I have a partscaster e-type that is made up of a 60's tele body/pickup and a Nocaster neck, and a 52 ri bridge plate/saddles. It is very twangy, has some bell like tones, but also has some plink. The guitar is very well set-up, good neck to pocket fit, and has plenty of threads under the saddles. The strings are Fender 150s 10-46's.

Should I try different strings, a modern style bridge, anything else?

If I decide to roll another partscaster, what is the basic recipe for a "bell" like tele?
