Tele configuration dilemma(s) . . .

[nvilletele]

I have some choices to make, so as usual I am seeking advice, suggestions and opinions from fellow TPRI'ers.

I have a pair of brand new Nocaster pickups and also a set of new Original Vintage pickups. Of lesser note, I also have a Glendale Bridge/Saddles and a spare AV52 bridge/saddle (with serial no.) I picked up off ebay for an AV52 that I no longer own.

I have 3 stock teles I am thinking about using these on:

2007 American Deluxe Ash - Butterscotch blonde
2009 Squier CV Tele
2001~2 American Series - Natural Ash 8402

I have a few other teles, but not looking to involve them in any of these swaps (especially my newly acquired AV52, which will stay stock).

I was thinking of putting the nocasters and the Glendale into the American Deluxe Ash . . . and then put the OVs into the American Series Natural Ash 8402 model. Then maybe put the SCN pups from the Deluxe Ash, and the AV52 bridge into the CV. Or maybe put the SCN into the 8402, and then swap its pups into the CV.

But maybe the OV's might be better suited to the CV? And put the SCN into the American Series Natural Ash . . . or other combination?

Suggestions/ideas/thoughts please . . . . along with the reasons for your choices.

TIA.

I'm no expert, but I'd think those OV's would be perfect for the CV. I like the CV a lot, don't own one, but have been playing a friends. I love OV's, so I'm bias, but if I had them in the CV I play it would be perfect.

The pickups will work on any of them but the bridges wont.

The CV will accept any of those parts but the USA American std and deluxe wont.

There really isnt much diference in the CV and 52ri bridge.

I knew that the vintage bridge wouldnt work on the American Deluxe Ash, but thought it would on the American Series Natural Ash . . . but you are indeed correct -- that one too is a three screwhole modern bridge.

Looks like I may have to instead put the bridges on my 98 California Series Fat Tele, or on one or both of my Nashvilles . . . (I was thinking about selling the nashvilles, but am having second thoughts now . . .).
