I've heard it said that picking strings of the proper gauge can help to intonate guitars, even where you have a non-compensating bridge like yours. I'm not sure, but I think using heavier strings keeps the strings from being bent as sharp, when fretted, as lighter strings. If the whole guitar is fretting sharp at the 12th fret, try going up to heavier strings. *Supposedly,* *theoretically,* you might be able to create a custom set of strings that would have that guitar playing in tune. Whether it would be a set that you enjoy playing (e.g., not too heavy, not too light, easy enough to bend, nothing wierd like two .014 strings on adjacent strings) is a different question.
I myself have never intonated a poorly intonated guitar through string selection, but I've been told it can be done.

Don't take this the wrong way... I've got a pile of old Teisco's, myself... and I say this to everyone who posts about not wanting to "alter" their old Teisco... but ultimately, they're not worth much... even the reverse-strat style is fairly common... and above all, guitars are meant to be played!!
Get on Ebay and find yourself a bridge that will fit the fretboard width.... and play it out!
Honestly, these little guys are great players... and that pickup you've got in there is great. I've got a bunch of those I've ripped out of smashed/ruined teiscos I've gotten my hands on over the years... throw into random projects now and again... Properly potted and with a decent set of electronics, these are GREAT little pickups.
Make that guitar work!!
