Im getting ready to do some mods to my mexican telecaster but not sure how it will affect the sound. im putting in a vintage style 3 saddle bridge, and vintage tuners. Will this affect it at all? Also, Do the vintae tuners stay in tune well or would it be more worth it to get locking ones?

thanks 8)

I have no complaints with the vintage tuners however with the 3 saddle bridge you will most likely have intonation problems. A good way to get around this is compensated saddles. Some people claim sustain is better on the three saddles or that the brass cas a warmer sound but honestly if there is a dfference, i can't hear it. I'd go more off of feel, and personal preference in looks. since thats really the only difference if you have compensated saddles. Good luck!
