That looks like either a cut down modern Tele bridge or a Hardtail Strat bridge with modern saddles.

Johny's guitar has an american standard HARDTAIL STRAT BRIDGE as stock.These have the same screw pattern as the am std tele bridges.This means that it will fit your guitar ONLY if it is an amercian st.model.
If you have a vintage style tele than GOTOH offers many bridges incl.a hardtail strat and a nice tele bridge with humbucker routing.


tele bridges:

strat bridges:

you can go to Fender's website and see if they offer their hardtail strat bridge as a replacement part

I see a four corners screw pattern on the strat bridge and that is not going to work. I got 4 under the saddles.

I see what you mean, than you can try this bridge,it looks better with a humbucker in a tele anyhow...




supposing of course that it is a humbucker you want to load in.........

That bridge is standard on Tele plus models (early models with one Blue and two -dually- red lace sensor pick-up's) made from '89 to about '97, when Fender changed to three gold lace sensors on this model. I have two (it took me over a year to track them down). It has nothing to do with strats.so there
