spencer,

Here's the old thread from Darrell.

Here's the old thread from hucklebilly.

But those are methods to fit a vintage spec bridge to an American Standard or American Series Tele. If yours is a Hwy 1 on which a modern style has been installed...

Check to see if yours has 4 screws holding down the plate like a vintage bridge. If so, chances are you have either the Gotoh or the Fender MIM Standard string through bridge, which are made for the vintage hole pattern; it would have required no drillling and filling to install, and so you could just put a vintage back on it without any more drillling and filling.

Warmoth has one of the Gotohs here with a diagram that should help you figure out it yours fits this pattern.
