First build ATL - Tommygun

[TZK321]

Thanks so much, David. I just assumed that all Telecaster bridges had 4 mounting holes. That's why it confused me.

Looks like my kit won't arrive until next week. You mentioned that different Telecaster bridges have different dimensions. Do you think the Wilkinson 3 saddle bridge will cover these holes? If not, what should I do about it?

I've already got a can of Goof-off and everything else I expect to need for the build. However I've held off buying a Dremel. I'm hoping the pickup routing won't need to be modified. FYI I'll be putting Tonerider pickups in both slots.

Seems it's modeled on the Squier, which has 3 mounting screws and an elongated bridge plate.
Should be fine unless you want to replace it with a 'Fender' one or even 'Wilkinson'.

If I could be bothered, I'd get myself a full size Telecaster template and see exactly the differences.
Mind you, my neck was a edit: few mm short on the butt end which excaserbated the issue.

cheers, Mark.
