Looks weird, but after I got over the non traditional nature I’m wondering if this is worth a try. Seems good in theory?

No, but call me intrigued! Wonder how it would with a Bigsby?

Good for a modern Tele radius (9.5").
Not sure it will work for Bigsby as the strings will touch on the back of the bridge plate. You might need to file it down.
Callaham has a great Tele bridge for Bigsby that I've used. Spendy though.

Re: Anyone tried this telecaster bridge?
A common mod is to dremel out wee notches for the strings. Very simple to do without spending Callaham money.
