Sorry, but I don't even have Telecaster knobs on my T-style.Love my LP as is, except those trashy looking IMO) plastic knobs had to go. Telecaster knobs lookk great .

It's still a work in progress, (which I plan to finish soon) but while these might just seem like a variation, they're different enough that you don't see them everywhere.It's all personal preference. I might even like your choice. What are you using on your Tele?
I have an early 2000’s limited edition LP studio with gold hardware, Grover machine heads, and dot inlays. My other Epi is the special edition ‘66 G-400 (without the coil split pots), nickel hardware, and Grovers also.Simple question, do you keep your Epi Les Pauls stock or so you upgrade the bridge & tail piece? If so, to what?

Funny how some keep chasing their tail around. Thanks for having the guts to admit that.Yes, against a Gotoh GE103B-T-CR TOM style. Mainly because of the intonation, but I reinstalled the original ABR style bridge because I like the sound better. I don't know if it's my imagination!
I just bought a Special last month. It has the wraparound tailpiece that’s compensated. It weighed almost 100 grams or a little under four ounces. I immediately removed it and put a beautiful Faber compensated wraparound bridge with lighter weight studs on the guitar. It probably saved me at least three ounces, maybe more, bringing the total weight of the guitar down to 7 lbs. 10 oz. It’s just a few ounces heavier than my AO 50’s Tele. The best feature of the Faber is how it seemed to increase the sustain and bite that was already outstanding. I feel like Nigel Tufnel talking about sustain on his ‘59!
About the bridge, someone at GFS, knew how far to put the saddles on the Wilkinson Roller bridge, it came out of the box perfectly intonated .That bridge looks like a PITA to adjust the intonation. Are there adjustment screws I can't see in addition to the allens that lock it down on top? Or do you have to just slide it to a new position with a guess and lock it down with the allen?
