There is a set of saddles for a Tele that does exactly that. It's called the TLSIT Sitarizer. I'd buy a Tele just to get that sound!
ETA: It seems that one is no longer available, But Gunther Eyb in Germany makes the same thing, which comes in 3 versions, for a Les Paul/335/SG etc, for a Tele or for a Strat (which fits both trem and non-trem versions). If you want one for your Strat, it will cost you 150 Euros. I'm not so keen now!
This one (at $55 USA + $14 shipping and probably about £20 at this end in VAT and duty)?
