Does anyone have a source for a solid body electric mandolin bridge that allows you to set each string intonation and height alone?

Years ago, I watched a luthier friend custom-build a 5-string. For the bridge he took a 6-saddle fully adjustable Fender Telecaster bridge, made from brass, and used a jeweler's saw to cut it down to a 5-string. After a little bit of polishing, it looked nice and was very functional.

I bought a similar tele bridge from StewMac and removed the two outside saddles. Left the plate the original size. Looked OK to me and it worked.
