...i've spent considerable time on the phone with bill discussing this very topic (among others). bill is absolutely adamant about the bridge. as becky says:
"Our noisefree singles for Telecaster work best with a modern “non-magnetic” chrome-plated brass bridge. (It’s easy to see if your bridge is magnetic, just put a pickup next to it and if it attracts, then it’s definitely magnetic!) We don’t encourage using the old ashtray bridge with our noisefree singles for many reasons."
i agree that this should be stated clearly on the web site, as a caveat (perhaps it is, i haven't looked for it).
if any of you ARE able to understand the technology, give bill a call. he's a bit gruff, but its not difficult to tell that he loves to discuss this stuff. his knowledge and experience are truly astounding.
