A true Custom touch for your prized Telecaster without any modification.
Genuine New Fender Telecaster / Esquire Vintage Type "Pat.Pend." Bridge Plate with Notched Lower Flange & Drilled for Top Loading.
This is a Standard Fender 50's Style “Pat.Pend.” Chrome Bridge Plate that fits all Vintage & Classic 50’s, 60's, 70's, 80's and on up to current Reissues, MIM, CIJ, MIK, MIJ, Squier Classic Vibe’s, Highway One's, Deluxe Nashville’s, Classic Player Baja’s and the new American Special, with (4) mounting screw holes and "Strings thru Body". NOTE: Does not fit the American Standard or American Deluxe. This Bridge Plate is also a perfect fit on the G&L Asat Classic & Peavey Omniac. The Screw Spread Dimension is 2-9/16" center to center to the (2) outer-most holes. The String Spread Dimension is the Standard 2-1/8 inches "E" to "E".
The Bridge Plate has been modified by "Notching" the Lower Flange for right hand picking clearance near the Bridge Pickup (as done on Danny Gatton's Original Guitar & on the Fender Custom Shop Danny Gatton Signature Model Telecaster Guitar). This Mod eliminates the part of the bridge that you've been catching your pick on, or banging your knuckles on, but still allows you to install the Bridge Cover "ashtray" if desired. The Notched-Area is then polished smooth to match the rest of the bridge plate.
The Bridge Plate has also been modified by drilling (6) additional String holes in the rear Flange, so the Plate can be used as a Top Loading Plate as on a '59 Model Telecaster.
This Bridge Plate will accept any Stock or "Aftermarket" 3-pc. Saddle Set.
Mounting screws are not included. An instruction sheet on how to re-set your intonation is in the package.

Note: The current surface finish on the “Face” of these plates,

                                  as they come from FENDER:

          High Polish on the area in front of the pickup, and Matte

        finish on the area behind the pickup (where the Saddles sit).

                              The outer “Wall” is all polished.
