Nice work
Excellent work Tony …good stuff 👍
Thanks. Tony doing this soon on the Acid Drop Telecaster
Tony great video! Do you happen to know whether it is possible to replace a modern bridge with a vintage bridge or will the screw holes of the modern show/be exposed ?
Hello, do you happen to know what size the drill bit guide attachment is?
Great video, I’m working on my first build! I have a question, on my xgp body I have a fender 3 saddle vintage bridge and the pick up is hitting the neck pockets on the top and not allowing the bridge to line up with those through holes. Should I route out the pick up hole?
Awesome
Nice work Tony. I noticed the Wilkinson bridge is a top load. Always nice to have the option. The Dragon tele has the same style.
Yes you can top load or not.
Thanks for the helpful hint with the hinge bit !
yeah, i was gonna buy a small press that would probably have never been used again and decided to try this instead
This drill is great... Need a link where to buy
Any decent hardware store should have them.
What if the body is not pre-drilled for the bridge?
Most are not. You would have to drill them yourself.
a couple of points.....first you're relying on the predrilled thru the body string holes......their location needs to be verified first. This requires bolting on the neck. I've run into bodies that the string holes do not match the angle of the neck pocket resulting in being so far off it should be embarrassing to the seller the starts with the letter "G" and ends with an "h". Second you have verify that the thru the body holes match the type of bridge you are using. American Standard use a different location for string holes by approximately 1/4" relative to the neck pocket. Three and 5 screw bridges are different from the vintage 4 screw bridge. I've personally have 5 different Telecaster bridges. Joe Glaser mentions in a video that there are approximately 15. Another difference is the location of the bridge pickup. Not all match the vintage bridge. Your video is for an accurate vintage body using a vintage bridge. (for those that don't like the three barrel bridge Fender sells a replacement with 6 saddles for less than $30)
