Fender designed the Telecaster bridge covers to hide 'ugly' saddles. The '50s were the heyday of chrome, as you can see on the period's Cadillacs. Fender went along with the craze and fitted a large piece of shiny metal to their guitars. However, many guitarists felt hindered during playing as it was hard to mute the strings with this bridge cover. They would often remove the cover and use it as an ashtray, hence the name: ashtray cover. Understandably, it is a part that often went missing. So if you want to complete your vintage Tele or give your new one that classic look, then this is the part for you!

Fender vintage Telecaster bridge cover chrome
Fraaie bridgecover. Mijn telecaster Paisley gaat er natuurlijk niet beter door klinken, maar optisch is het wel de kers op de taart!

Je ne m'attendais pas à ce que ce capot Fender s'adapte sur mes guitares qui elles ne sont pas de cette marque. Surprise, tout fonctionne parfaitement, s'adapte sans forcer.
Le produit est de bonne facture , métallique et solide. Super cachet sur l'instrument qui lui donne une touche esthétique sympathique. Par contre pour le palm mute, je comprend pourquoi nos anciens s'en sont servis comme cendrier...
Très bon produit que je recommande.

Fender vintage Telecaster bridge cover chrome
Tijdje terug een Squier Classic Vibe Telecaster omgebouwd tot beefed up esquire. Brugplaat maakt de vintage look en feel helemaal af en past perfect op de standaard brug. Heb je het nodig? Meestal niet. Is het vet? Altijd. Mensen voor het podium wordt wel aangeraden een zonnebril op te zetten cause this baby is shiny.

Ce bridge cover est du plus bel effet sur ma Tele MIJ de 1985, il lui redonne son look vintage. Un vrai ashtray Fender quoi!
C'est ici que j'ai trouvé les meilleurs conseils et les meilleurs prix. Merci Bax Shop!

Fender vintage Telecaster bridge cover chrome
Dat ding past zelfs op mijn jack & danny telecaster naturel
vond het lastig met mijn plectrum zat elke keer tegen die opstaande rand te rammen
nu met de astray erop steunt mijn palm er op tijdens en vergemakkelijkt het spelen
klasse
