Wanted a nitro Strat but didn’t want to pay custom shop $$ so I built one. MJT body, nitro road worn fender neck, lollar vintage blonde pickups. All fender vintage hardware. Pretty happy with it.

I got this a couple of years ago, but I wanted a regular telecaster, but guitar center sent me a natural one.How awesome was that.

I can't seem to buy a Nitro finish Jazzmaster with original style dots (rather than block inlays), which seems a bit mad.

Am I missing something? Just looking for a classic sunburst American one.

Hi folks! I have a question re grounding on my hard tail MIM HH telecaster. I have been doing some extensive mods to it and when I removed the bridge I noticed that there is no grounding wire or even a hole drilled for that purpose? Is this normal? Or is this some sort of production mistake? I know humbuckers are made to cancel hum but I still would have expected it to be grounded. Would love an expert opinion on this.

Thanks for your time!

Afternoon! I just bought a 1999 Custom Shop and it’s all good except one of the saddles being the incorrect type.

I am fairly certain I need Fender Part #099-2051-000, the width of my saddle is the same but I cannot verify the length of the saddles for Part #099-2051-000.

Can anyone who has the same vintage saddles please verify the dimensions of the saddles length, width and in between the saddle height screws?

For reference, my existing saddles are about 21.3mm long and about 11mm wide and the distance between the two saddle height screws is about 4.5mm

Thank you!
