I've got a Pine Telecaster body I picked up for a good price. It was made by Frankenstien guitars (reputable builder here in Canada.)
I want to order a bridge and saddles from Glendale for it but how can I tell if this bridge will fit ok on this body? I think it had a modern 6 saddle style bridge on it but I was thinking of putting more a vintage style bridge with 3 saddles.

If you have 4 mount holes above 6 through holes (like your No-Caster), the typical shorty Glendale works.

If you have 3 mount holes below 6 through holes (slightly closer together), you need that elongated one that Dale sells for American Standard guitars.
