The Wilkinson compensated barrel bridges don't mount onto American Standard Teles without drilling new holes (American Standards have a 3 hole pattern instead of the vintage 4 hole) and I'm not ready to do that to my baby. I actually ordered a Wilkinson a while ago without knowing that and had to cancel when I found out. The only other vintage style bridges I could find that are compatible with my American Tele are the Glendale and Callaham, but they're just too expensive for a bridge replacement.
I saw a picture of a really nice Tele with the Gotoh 6-saddle bridge the other day and I liked it enough to cave on the purchase. We'll see how it goes, I'm installing it tonight, I'll post pictures after the weekend, I think it's going to look great, hopefully it doesn't alter the performance / tone much.
