If a person were to have the desire to do so, what would be involved with replacing a "regular" Telecaster bridge with a hard tail Strat bridge ?

Would it just be the removal of the original Tele bridge and screwing on the hard tail Strat bridge?

Will the string holes/ferrules line up (assuming the Tele is a string-thru body)?

Something is brewing in the back of my skull, which I will share at a later date... :twisted:

I don't have a Tele in front of me but if my memory serves correctly, you wouldn't have the required saddle tracking length with a Strat bridge.

Bridge humbucker, maybe? There's Tele-style bridge solutions to that one...
