Got around to buying a Tele bridge for My Strat but I completely forgot that the strings come through at a different spot. I intended to get a Top-Loading bridge to skirt around this problem but never mind I did it my way
First thing I did was record with the Gotoh bridge. Then I marked where the strings go through the body and drilled on an angle to where they come through at the back of the guitar. I didn't trust myself to get the angle correct so I did some science and it worked out very well
I don't like the look of it that much, a sexy curvy body with a square boxy thing in the middle. But it does sound more like a Telecaster, has more bite, like picking close to the bridge. The only difference now to a Telecaster is the body shape, so yeah should sound just like a Tele. I don't know if this setup will be permanent but I will leave it there for the life of the strings at least
