My 2011 Mexi Tele I bought new mere weeks ago (old stock) for $389 Canadian, got a bridge swap last night. I took off the 2 pound six saddle modern bridge and strung up a fresh set of strings with vintage bridge setup.The G string seemed to pop more (Sound bright) was my first impression. I like it and have 3 gigs this week with my guitars Wednesday jam and Friday and Saturday night. Wednesday I pickup my brand new 2013 American standard P bass from the store.

I added a Wilkinson compensated bridge to my '99 Mex Tele and really like the tone much more than w/ the 6-saddle oem bridge. Also allowed me to set the action better than the oem bridge.
