American Standard Tele Bridge Gives sought-after tone with modern improvements: no ashtray edges, 6 saddle adjustability. Redesigned plate features a classic styled Fender stamp on chrome plated brass. Brass and steel are the secrets to the Tele sound! Bridge Component Specifics American Standard saddles- The original vintage-style Fender bent steel adjustable saddle is one of the components that give vintage Fenders their tonal mojo . Fender conducted tone comparison tests, and fell in love with them all over again. They have a wider tonal range and more character many other saddles. Then Fender improved them; narrowing the spacing to afford more room (and complement the bigger frets and rolled edges), and also elongated the string slot to reduce friction and string breakage, while improving the string break angle over the primary contact point.

The combination of steel saddles with a brass plate returns to the magic combination of the most sought-after vintage Tele guitars, which had steel plate/brass saddles. The plate also features two extra mounting screws to improve resonance and body contact as well as eliminating squeals, and a stylized Fender logo to class up the instrument and nod to the design of 60s era Fenders (like Jaguar and Mustang bridges).

An undercoat serves to give the paint a smooth surface to adhere to so you have a nice looking finish The thicker the undercoat, the more glass-like the finish, but the more constricted the guitar s body wood, which could affect tone. Fender switched to an undercoat that is thinner, and that allows the body to flex and resonate more, while retaining the cosmetic advantages of an undercoat.

The Fender SKB case is a true advancement in guitar presentation and protection, stackable eith perfect balance, it is TSA lock equipped, and has glass reinforced nylon trigger latches and a killer form-fitted plush interior.
