I have a American Deluxe Telecaster (a few years old) with the modern-style bridge. While I haven't made up my mind whether it's worth it to do this, I've been considering replacing the original bridge with a vintage-style bridge with compensated saddles. Can this be done without drilling? Would it screw up the scale length of the guitar? I'm sure this has been asked and answered on this forum before, but my search of recent posts has been fruitless. Thanks for any help!
