Most of the bridge bucker equipped teles I've seen with a three saddle bridge have used a sawed off vintage bridge with a regular mounting ring around the pickup. I don't know how hard it would be to mod a modern bucker bridge to vintage style, but that may be your only option. If you do run across one, let me know! |

awh pants!
thing is vintage bridge's thread the strings thru the opposite side of the mounting screws to modern u.s bridges,but mexican modern bridges have the same pattern as vintage? i don't mind a six saddle bucker bridge if the strings fit the original string thru holes at the very back of the plate,behind the screw's any suggestions? |

The Stew-Mac bucker bridge should mount correctly to a vintage body. I successfully did one several years ago, and the picture on StewMac's website has the mounting holes in the correct location.
