I'm sorry. As an engineer, I need to ask "why"?

You'll have to compare the bridge for yourself.

I doubt that I will ever be able to afford to do that.

Well, John Page just made new saddles:

http://jpwoodtone.com

Maybe one should buy this new Fender CS bridge and pair it with John's saddles. At least that's what I'll try.

Cheers

David

Talking about the "Ashtray" bridge, not JP's saddles.

I'm not sure I know what you want me to say here Jim. I was merely making a play on the word "ash." Was the bridge, which appears to be identical to the stamped Tele bridge cover, affectionately known as the "ashtray" to be used on "ash" bodied guitars?
It was a pun, albeit a poor one, but nothing more complicated than that!

Oh. I missed the connection ash/ashtray and obviously the joke. I thought you were seriously asking a question about something in the design of the bridge that I couldn't see.
Nevermind, carry on.

Except for the bridge and body carve/lack of binding, looks kinda like this one:

My wife wants to know if the sofa comes in other fabrics and colors.........
Moral: never show a picture of a Telecaster to a woman other than Airborne Strat's wife.
