How does the tele bridge affect the tone of the bridge pickup?

Sorry I haven't answered these questions earlier, didn't realise the thread was back!

youshy & xeL - There are two new videos up. Myself and Jo doing a play-through and our new music video

Huge Hammers - Dez & Jo Playthrough (Guitar World) - YouTube

THE SAFETY FIRE - Huge Hammers (OFFICIAL VIDEO) - YouTube

JaeSwift - The bridge is custom made for Sam as he has very specific specifications. As you can see there are no visible screws for the pickups.

McBrain - More than anything else, I have found these guitars to some of the most resonate instruments I have played.

What's a super tele?

I can tell the difference between a strat and a superstrat, but those have me a bit lost. They're cool--don't get me wrong--I'm just not understanding the nomenclature.

They are about half the width of a normal tele, have contouring on the back of the body which make them more comfortable. A recessed neck joint, flatter radius fretboard, and more modern neck profile.

And 23 frets rather than 21 or 22 haha.

Ahh okay. So when they use the term "super" in conjunction with strat or tele it just means it looks like a duck but isn't quite your traditional duck?

That was always my understanding of it. I know the superstrat shapes became sharper over the years, but initially started off by improving performance.
