Help finding "dual-loading" tele humbucker bridge?

[pilotfish]

Hi all--

I need to find a black humbucker Tele bridge that:

* uses three mounting screws
* has string holes for string-through *and* top-loading

Anybody know where I can find such a thing?

this could be a starting point:

What about the gotoh ones?

[pilotfish]

It's hard to find a good picture, but I think the Gotoh bridges are string-through only.

guitar fetish does have 3 hole dual load bridges. That wilkinson has 4 mounting holes.

oops, missed humbucker.

possibly this, don't use the extra two holes at the top if you don't want.

I'm a little worried that you're being too specific here. The only relatively common thing you're looking for is that it has 3 screw holes.

Black bridges aren't as common as chrome or even gold.
Humbucker bridges aren't as common as single-coil.
Dual-loading isn't as common either.

I feel like you may have to either do some customizing yourself (convert to dual-load, plug holes in the body and re-drill) or perhaps cut the bridge off and use a humbucker mounting ring to mount the bucker. http://yhst-50206111187217.stores.ya...lotebrsos.html

I seriously doubt the bridge you are looking for exists.

3 hole suggests NON vintage spacing. The Modern and vintage string through holes are placed differently if yo are retro-fitting.

I say get a string thru and drill some top load holes, been there, done that...

LocustPlague and Jack--thanks for the help.

Cutting the bridge and using a mounting ring is a good idea--I'll work on that first.

Thanks!

Hack--the drilling option was my second choice, but I figured it was worth trying to find it pre-made. :-)

I want one too! I wish they made them!

If you don't need the pickup mounted to the bridge, the Schaller 3D-6 bridge is dual load and 3 hole mount. I am using one for my next build, it is an awesome bridge.
