Default Tele bridge...for slanted humbucker?

I just discovered that Rio Grande makes these:


Which would be pretty awesome, but I don't think anyone makes a bridge that will fit it.... I tried googling it but I really don't know any company that makes one. You'd think Rio Grande would know this and also manufacture a bridge made for that pickup. Am I just over looking something or if I try this, will I have to pay high dollar for a custom machined bridge?

Edit* Found this on another forum


So they must have existed at some point. (unless the bridge was originally a regular tele bridge or custom made)

Contact Rio Grande. I imagine if anyone knows who would make a bridge that would work with their pickups, it'd be them!

And the plot thickens! I'll shoot them an email to see if I can get just a bridge from them as well.

It's like we've found the mating vagina-stock to the infamous penis-stock.

Only more hideous by a factor of ten

Too much focus leads to tunnel vision
Too much faith leads to religion
Too much knowledge leads to confusion
Too many guitar lessons lead to jazz-fusion
