NGD - Fender American Original 60's Tele

[Powdered Toast Man]

Similar to the original ashtray bridge, right?

The ashtray cover is actually in the case

It's the standard vintage style Tele bridge. Doesn't bother me at all. Some guys it does though. Actually the seller shipped it to me with an aftermarket Glendale bridge installed (original in the case). The Glendale has the sides of the lip cut down. I put the original bridge back on as I prefer the stock look and like I said, doesn't bother me. The string height makes them above the edge of the lip and not under it.

Cool. Looks you got a pretty bad-ass instrument man.

i like the lip cut back a little on my tele bridges. the calaham on my esquire is only cut back on the treble side, and about 1" its my favorite tele bridge. i have a glendale that i like on my black tele. which version did you pull off? the double cut or single?

Double cut. Actually I just sold the bridge.

Those AO Customs are just gorgeous guitars – all of them. Even the Fiesta Red ones, which is normally a color I truly hate.

String through the body custom. Nice.

What pickups are in that model?

The 64 Tele pickups. I've got a set of these same pickups in another guitar and they're some of the best sounding Tele pickups I've had.

FWIW, every Fender Pure Vintage pickup I've tried (which is...literally all of them) has been among the best I've ever heard.

When they revamped the AV line in 2012 that included the pickups. I'm glad they have kept those AV pickups and carried them forward into the AO line.

The 64 neck pickup in particular is the best Tele neck pup I've heard.

I have an AV '64, and it sounds great.

I also have an AV '58, and I like it even more.

All the PV pickups are great, IME, and like I said, I have literally tried all of them, guitars and basses. Never heard a bad sounding one.
