I'm just a sucker for the original tele recipe of thin stamped steel bridge plate and three brass saddles. tbh it'sa bit of a fetish at this point as i've heard loads of different bridge and saddle set-up still sound distinctly "tele". But I do believe that the thin tinny stamped bridge is a part of the sound though. My USA tele came with a thick chromed brass bridge plate and steel saddles. It sounded incredibly bright and was very quiet acoustically. Changing the bridge brought a load more of that clucky, percussive, almost slightly acoustically resonating thing that classic teles do. It's not just about moar treble.
