  • Check my Tele out Now.....

    My 2006 American Series has undergone a significant modification. Can you tell what it is?

        OMG..Tort to Pearl. Can I get a full bod pic?
        I also noticed your Low e is way in and your high e is on the edge...??

        With that cream /yellow bod, I'd give the nod to a black pearl guard..however thats a personal preference...hard to tell without a full guitar picture.

                How come they designed the bridge that way to begin with? Was it beacuse of the original bridge cover?

                  yeah, I always wondered about the edges on the tele bridge - doesn't make much functional sense. I always guessed itwas a part if the bridge cover design.

                    Well, the original bridge was ferrous and magnetic. The new ones are stainless steel. I guess Fender thought they would be doing us a services by making the plate flat and non-corrosive.

                      Man, when you go vintage, you go vintage. Three barrels, no compensation, no cut out in the treble-side lip. Hardcore Tele-ness.

                            Okay, after really giving it a good play last night, I do like it, but not so much for tone. To me, it really doesn't sound all that different from my six-saddle stainless AS bridge. But as far as looks, I'm very happy with it.

                              I love that pickguard
                              There's so much gear I want that the whole list would make a highway to hell if it was ever written down.
