In this video I go over how to swap out a bridge on your Telecaster. I have a Fender Player II Telecaster but this is the same process for all Telecasters. Depending on your model Telecaster, your ground wire may be a bit different but you need to make sure it is installed the same way it is taken off. I purchased the Wilkinson Vintage Bridge with compensated Saddles. It has a thin bridge plate and it is 2.9oz lighter then the stock bridge!!!

At the end of this video I compare the stock 6-saddle bridge that comes on a Fender Player II Telecaster to the Wilkinson Vintage Bridge with Compensated Brass Saddles. The Wilkinson Bridge is 3 oz lighter than the stock bridge which is very nice. I play the same thing on both saddles back to back. Then I turn on the overdrive and do it again.
