This thing sure makes a Telecaster look great - just like the pictures in the old Fender catalogs. You really can't play a Telecaster with it on 'cause it just gets in the way, but it pops on and off in just a second. When I hang my Tele on the wall, this thing is on for sure, when I start to play, I pop it off and stick it in my case!

Ordered the Telecaster Ashtray bridge cover and slapped it on my 50's Telecaster. Immediately it added a sizeable amount of chrome, and befittingly covered up that exposed pickup and saddle, concealing its' primitive bridge assembly- which I think anyway does aid in cosmetically completing Telecasters. This now keeps the electronics under the hood and simplifies the overall appearance of this guitar. Only drawback is, that this cover doesn't seat as well at the base, as it does where it narrows and grabs on to the sides of the vintage bridge. Its a little rickety, you can hear it flop against the guitar, but it stays on there and completes the classic image. ~Works for me.
