Brass Ric bridge (assuming you mean the hipshot) is going to stick right off the butt of your Fender. Likely suspects to retrofit are the Leo Quan Badass, Gotoh 201, Fender HMV, or Brass Hipshot A Style with Fender Mount.

I like the Hipshot A.
It looks good, adjustments are easy and it drops right in
There is a string through version for the newer MIAs.
