On the subject of guitar repairs:
I have a Contemporary Telecaster the same as this (not my photo):

The threads for fine tuning on the original tremelo wore out so I had it replaced. The only option at the time was a floyd rose style trem.
Thing is the string spacing on the new trem doesn't match the spacing on the humbuckers so the top and bottom E are quieter than the A & B, which are quieter than the D & G - hope this is clear.
The problem is worse on the back pickup than the front.
So, does anyone know where I might be able to pick up a replacement for the original trem/bridge or at least where I might find one that matches?

Aargh. Floyd Rose. Aaargh.

I think if you head on in to most guitar shops, they'll be able to order you in a replacement.

Maybe www.stewmac.com

Have ya tried adjusting the polepieces to compensate... that is if they are in fact adjustable?

Fender do spares of all parts for all their guitars... Here are bridges and saddles and the like:

Nah - tried that. No one in any guitar shop in dublin had a clue - that's how I ended up with an incompatable bridge on the tele. It was the only one that came close to working.

They're not adjustable
I suppose a solution would be to get new humbuckers but I love the sound of the ones I have.

First place I tried - don't seem to have the bridge.
The contemporary tele's were made in Japan.

I had Eugene who works out of Musician do some work on my brothers purple shredtastic washbrun floyd rose equipped guitar (spandex pants not included0 and he did a great job on resetting and may have replaced some of the fine tuning pegs, i can't remember...
