So how do a Tele bridge work on a strat ?

It sounds a bit like a mix between a humbucker equipped superstrat and a tele. Very different from a strat bridge with baseplate. Hard to say how it compares to the same pickup on a real Tele.

Mmm.... Yummie  :D

Think I'm gonna treat my Vox Standard 25 with a Piledriver bridge.

You need to mod the scratchplate. The depending on the routing you might not need to mod the body - if its SSS you definitely will... HSS - maybe, maybe not

It's SSS so I'll have to reroute it, but well, I don't plan on selling it anyway so WTF.  Any take at how a PD bridge would sound on a very bright and resonant thick & heavy piece of hard maple ?

Now this will have to wait until next spring anyway  :(

i'm not a big piledriver fan, but it might work well - the maple adding some top end sparkle, also its a hard not a compressed sounding wood.

Blackguards are versitile enough to go from country to serious hard rock.

If your country is anything like Johnny Cash's country, the Blackguard will nail that tone.

It has loads of character too.

I like how you say Johnny Cash's country, cause I pretty much can't listen too country, and yet Johnny Cash is something else, an amazing artist for certain.

Yardbirds I have to recommend.  I have them in a Tele with a maple neck and absolutly love them.  Very versitile. I would go as far has to say my favourite bare knuckle pickup.
