Wilkinson Half Tele® Bridge
Get the classic Tele® bridge look and feel when using a non-Tele® bridge pickup.
The Wilkinson Half Tele® bridge delivers the look and feel of a traditional Tele® bridge, while allowing you to use a P-90, humbucker, mini-humbucker, or filter’tron style pickup in the bridge position. You can even use it with a normal Tele® pickup to acheive a more steel-guitar-like tone. This killer bridge also features compensated brass saddles for improved intonation. It fits Warmoth's Vintage Tele® bridge rout, and is a direct replacement for any vintage Tele® bridge, so installation is a breeze.

Unlike full-size Tele® bridges, pickups do not mount directly to the Wilkinson Half Bridge, so you'll need an alternative method for mounting them to the body. This includes Tele® bridge pickups, where the bridge will still cover approximately 2-3 mm of the pickup rout's bottom corner. Plan your build carefully.
This bridge does not fit the standard bridge cut on a Stratocaster® pickguard. Use this bridge with a rear routed Strat® replacement body, or with the Floyd bridge cut.
