Is there a 3-saddle 4-screw brass bridge out there?

I've searched to no avail.

I have a Bill Lawrence bridge pickup that howls like a banshee with a regular steel bridge, and sounds pretty good with the Gotoh 6-saddle brass bridge. I'd prefer 3 saddles, but (according to Becky) I have to stay away from steel bridges with this pickup.

Thanks, folks!

Not that I've seen, but those Gotoh brass bridge plates are surprisingly easy to drill your own 3-saddle holes. Just screw the plate to a big block of wood (vertically) tap some pilot holes exactly between the existing saddle screw holes, and drill away. Takes less than a few minutes. Make sure your drill bits are nice 'n sharp!

Guitar Fetish has them. (http://store.guitarfetish.com/3brsatebrch.html) Or do you mean with a brass bridge plate as well?

You can use a short plate, and dis-associate the bridge pup from the plate itself. You could also do it like this (self made):

Or, you can buy the rigid plate from Bill Callaham and feedback will not be an issue, like it can be with a vintage $ 8 plate that isn't flat on the bottom.
