Looking for something cheap as I am thinking that this will only be used as a template. So what have you got in your parts drawers??

    I have one I can draw around for you if that’s any help. Can’t sell it though

    I did think of that but as I have no body holes for the bridge or string through holes, thought it might not be as accurate as I'd like..

    Don't need saddles, just the plate. I can even send it back to you after ;)

    I have a no-name Tele HB bridge, sans saddles or mounting screws. I would need to check whether its stringing holes conform to Fender specifications. It would certainly serve as a template.

    Alternatively, use a shortened T bridge and suspend your humbucker via a plastic mounting surround.
    Be seeing you.

    Subjective I know but I do prefer the look of that arrangement. The Tele HB bridges always seem to have a disproportionate amount of chromework beyond the saddles. Like this:

    Sounds good :+1:

    Here is what I have.

    Pegging the plate in position via the stringing holes would enable you to mark up. The aperture will accept any covered regular width humbucker or any uncovered one with F-spaced polepieces.

    As far as I am concerned, this bridge plate would only ever be any use for a conversion on a budget Telecaster with a top loader bridge. I would not expect to get it back. Hence, yours for the cost of postage and packing.
    Be seeing you.
