Hello there,
After looking at different Fender Teles and Squier Teles, I realized there's quite a huge discrepancy on the bridge - especially the way it's screwed on the body.
So my question is: what's a good replacement bridge for my 2011 Squier Standard Telecaster? I may not need one now, but soon I will.
Before going aftermarket, is there an actual Fender replacement part?

Hello !

You can look at fender replacement parts on music store sites http://www.thomann.de. Or give a look at allparts ;) Search for a bridge and you can look on youtube or search reviews.

Oh, you're German, aren't you?
Anyway, I'll follow your advice; though it's a wee bit hard here because we don't have AllParts or even a GuitarCenter in the Philippines (and maybe in nearby countries like Hong Kong, Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore, etc.)

Yes there are many types of Tele bridges. Some guys prefer the original 3 saddle type bridges with brass saddles, a similar vintage 6 saddle from the late sixties to the modern 6 saddle. As far as Fender parts go for your standard you need something for a mim or import. Fender parts are available from many online dealers so look around for the best price. There are many other manufacturers that make a good bridge too. Callahan, Barden, Wilkinson. I used Vintage Compenated brass 3 saddle Wilkinson Bridges and I'm quite happy but you need to look at the string spacing as that will also indicate import or american mounting spacing before you order anything.

cant go wrong with wilkinson parts in my opinion, i upgraded my CV strta with a wilkinson full steel block tremolo, worth at least double the retail price.

As far as my standar tele goes i have replaced the saddles to steel saddles, 54mm string spacing on squier standards
