Would this be an alternative? http://www.stewmac.com/shop/Bridges,_tailpieces/Electric_guitar,_non-trem_bridges/Schaller_Non-Tremolo_Roller_Bridge.html

Thanks for the quick reply! I forgot to mention that I was going to buy the telecaster neck preshaped (something like: http://www.stewmac.com/shop/Bodies,_necks,_wood/Electric_guitar_necks/Replacement_Neck_for_Tele_Guitar.html ), I don't really mind the shape of the head, but I like the neck of the telecaster because of the fact that it is a bit less wide than the neck of a gibson. So will that still be possible with a TOM (do they come in different sizes)? Or is there an other alternative for a TOM? Because the body is curved, I can't put a regular tele bridge on it.. (Am I correct about this or?) Then, thanks for mentioning the radius, I didn't really think about this (that's because of the fact that the fretboard of a tele isn't entirely flat right?) Do you think that will really be noticable? Thanks again! Hans

Hi everyone, I'm currently on a backpacking holiday in australia and thought to myself, why don't I design a guitar while I have the time?=) So I started drawing something that looks like a Gibson Johnny A., and when I get home, start designing it properly and start the shaping,... Now I was wondering, is there any problem with using a tune-o-matic bridge with a telecaster neck? I did some research and I found out about the angle for the neck, so I know about that. But I don't know if there is a problem with the space between the strings on the side of the bridge, because the neck of a telecaster is slimmer than the neck on a gibson.. Does anyone have any experience with this? Thanks in advance!! Best regards, Hans
