First build ATL - Tommygun

[TZK321]

I actually was planning to use a Wilkinson 3 saddle bridge. Will these holes be concealed if I use it? I want a bridge that I can attach the chrome pickup cover to. Are there Any bridges like that which resemble the stock Pitbull bridge in size?

If I cannot conceal the holes can they be filled in well enough to be unnoticable?

Geez, I haven't started yet and already screwed up

The bridge screw holes should be covered, so no issue there.
With my Squier the issue was lining up the pre-drilled string-through holes with the Fender bridge plate.
When the holes were lined up, the pick-up route was peeping out from under the front of the bridge plate.

On your's the string-through holes are not drilled so you should be O.K.

I'm still waiting for my kit to arrive. In the meantime I've been researching to see who else has switched Telecaster bridges and what were the results. It seems that switching from the Squier to the ashtray bridge is popular with Squier Affinity owners. I've attached a couple of photos and I'm a bit disappointed with the results.

Do you guys still think I'll be ok or should I start preparing a plan 'B'?

I really dislike the look of the Telecaster bridge without the cover but I'd probably dislike the look of screw hole even more.
