NGD: You had me at "Blonde and Bigsby"....

[bluesholyman]

Well, I had not planned on buying two guitars this week, but it happened. Also my first foray into rosewood/pau ferro neck telecasters...on both - I am usually a maple guy.

The first one was a great deal I couldn't pass up. This one was a good, hard to find deal. I have always wanted a bigsby on a telecaster - its one reason I like Gretsch guitars. 2018 Vintera 60s Telecaster....Blonde with Bigsby!!! I love the white blonde look. Sold my nearly identical squier (sans bigsby) to make this happen - no regret as I don't need both. Amazing guitar. The squier was a touch hotter, but I'll be just fine...

That blonde is the perfect colour.

Nice Blonde! Here is one I built from a roasted swamp ash body. With 64 Custom Shop Pure Vintage pickups.

That is the most perfect bridge I've seen on any telecaster. No uncomfortable edges and six adjustable saddles. Very nice.

 

[Fendereedo]

Jazzmaster. This is the way Fender usually rigged them. I do the same. Low-profile, no neck shims, and the rocking bridge returns to tune very well on a B5. A B50 usually needs to have the nylon bushings replaced with bearings.
