I recently bought a telecaster body, which appears to have 3 bolts to mount the bridge to the body, and the mounting holes are closer to the rear strap pin than the string ferrules . . . I know Ive seen bridges with 3 mounting holes but those holes were closer to the neck than the ferrule holes . . . wtf is going on here???

1. Where can I find a proper bridge for this guitar?
2. Is this truly a USA built Fender telecaster body?

here are pics of it . . .

Sounds a little suspect to me. Have you tried removing the bridge to see if there are any additional mounting holes? Might be a Barden replacement bridge-plate.

thats like the bridge plate on my mim telecaster. i removed it and there were no other holes. you may have your self a mex body and plate. o looked on ebay there all mounted from the rear some have 3 holes some have 4 depending on the type looks like strung through the body have 4 holes strung through the end of the bridge plate have 3 the holes up front are pickup holes in all cases.
