I have a parts tele with a vintage Fender bridge (3-saddle). On the Guitarfetish site, the GFS Hot Puncher is described as being for "import" teles. My question is, will this fit in my tele? Thanks.

Hi flapjack,

GFS now have two versions of the Lil Puncher. The new version is the XL model and is designed to fit American sizes. I would reccomend this new one. I have been able to modify my bridge saddles to adequately use their 'import' model, but I wouldn't reccomend this mod to most people.

To answer your question, yes, it will fit in your tele. However, the pickup might not be long enough to reach out under both outer e strings.

If you really want to but the Lil Punchers I would really urge you to buy the new XL version. The rails are a smidge longer and they will be a better fit.

Thanks for the info., Bob. I am still not sure what I am going to do (I might not even get the GFS Hot Puncher - still debating what to do), but if I do I will take into account your opinion.
