I bought first Telecaster 7 years ago. I didn't like it at all, so I send it back and got another. I didn't like the new one much either. So I took it round to a friends workshop where he drilled 6 holes right through to fit a vintage style bridge with 3 brass saddles. I was scared, he was scared - this was a brand new guitar after all. But it did the trick. The new bridge gave it that vintage vibe, and I was happy. I'm even happier now that the brass has tarnished, but is polished where my hand touches while I play. Conclusion? It takes a little time and a few adjustments before a guitar fits right.

Hope you like this pic as I spent ages trying not to get a reflection of the lights, the camera or me in the shot!
