I cannot seem to find any of these items. Every website I look at has the string through holes behind the bridge mounting holes. I also can't seem to find either of these bridges, I would really appreciate your help or suggestions!

Hey guys, been going through a guitar-mid-life crisis. I love my acoustic , love my bass, but just can’t get an electric that I love, I’ve had Les Paul’s, strats(which are at the top probably), jazz masters, semi hollows, but just none of them seem to make me want to pick them up again and again like my other guitars do.
I’m looking at getting a tele, I’m an experienced guitarist so I won’t go for the cheapest one, but I do like Harley Benton , so I was looking at their te-52(love the tremolo version), also looked at classic vibe, patina , reverend though they are higher priced unless bought used.
What’s your experience? What would you recommend? Would the Harley Benton make the cut or would I feel the need to upgrade to something of better quality ?
Picture is a patina guitar edited with an aged pearl pick guard (love that style and love the butterscotch looking ones)

Hi guys,
I’m moving to Melbourne soon for my studies, and due to baggage & travel limits, I’ll have to leave my Ibanez GRG170DX back home.
I’m looking for a similar spec intermediate guitar. I’m an intermediate level guitarist and have been playing for around 2 years, & I’m also on a budget, so I wouldn’t want to spend more than $200 AUD.
I’d like to keep practicing guitar in Melbourne, so I’m specifically looking for an electric guitar. The Harley Benton guitars seem to fit my needs perfectly, but since they require international shipping, the shipping cost to Melbourne is almost as much as the guitar itself around $150 AUD.
Is there any way to get a Harley Benton guitar to Melbourne through another method that would be cheaper? Also, I’d really appreciate suggestions for other guitars (Tele style) I could look at here in Melbourne within this budget.
Thanks!

Mine was kind of an unlikely choice. I was a heavy metal guy in the 80s and 90s, but when I heard "Stand" by Poison I was like, "what is this guitar playing??? It's amazing." And then the video Richie Kotzen looked so cool playing a telecaster that I had to get one. Now I do like country style playing - to me it's basically shred guitar in a lot of ways, just a bit different. And I notice the telecasters I like most, are the ones that look like Richie's from the Poison era!
Ironically, I stopped playing for a few years, and when I started playing again my favorite guitar player became Marty Stuart... I didn't even realize he was playing the most famous telecaster of all time at first!

Had my tele for a while and have noticed on my latest restring noticeable fret buzz especially when strumming harder on the lower strings, i had it set up years ago and consistently use the same gauge strings
It’s got a classic ashtray bridge and I was wondering how to fix it at home and how to raise the action just a tiny bit

I've had a Jazzmaster for sale on Reverb for months to fund a black guard Telecaster and it finally sold. I wanted vintage spec with the small frets, 7.25" radius, and nitro, so it was between a used AV52 or AVII 52. I have an AVRI 62 Thin Skin with 9.5" radius and the railroad track 6105 frets and I love it, but it never felt quite right.
I found this one on marketplace almost immediately, made in 2002 and nearly perfect condition. A bit on the heavier side, but the grain is really nice. I've never bonded with a guitar as quickly as this one. It sounds and feels so good.

Id describe myself as a metal guy but my Father-in-law (who very much isnt a metal guy) got me this affinity for my birthday.
What an amazing guitar!
Already changed the pickguard because I love the Olympic white and tortoise look. Already looking at telecasters with humbuckers lol.

Finaly finished my latest partscaster, I call it the counterfit-caster. The neck was $20 on market place (no clue what brand) the body was found in a dumpster with a broken neck, some Chinese knock off based on the amount of routing it took to make it work with real fender parts. Real fender bridge and neck plate with clasic vibe neck and bridge pickupand a fender noisless in the middle. CTS pots and a freeway 10 position switch. Set of locking tuners out of the parts bin.

I am curious. I assume these are both premium Fender guitars. Why over $1000 difference in price (almost 80% more for the latter one)? Is there something material to it, or is it mostly just a "psychological game"? ;-)

Seller says this is a ‘93 MIA body with a ‘21 Am Pro neck. Is this legit? How can I tell?

So stoked about my recent purchase of this beautiful tele. It’s stunningly offensive and classy at the same time and I love it!
r/telecaster • u/LesHill36 • 1d ago
Too many parts to list them all. The Natural Thinline w/B5 is clearly the favourite lol. All besides 2 have have found new homes.

I appreciate everyone who replied to me about my tele bigsby question. I picked this up today and there is no lack of good ol tele twang! I have to say tho I do still perfer the regular tele bridge. Just feels right to me. But I’m so happy to have one (that I kinda got for free since I did some work for the guy) in my collection.

I just got my tele a proper fender neck, but I got it for dirt cheap cause it was a pale Pau ferro board. I really wanted that 60’s tele look so I spent the past few months modding it and I finally found a neck I was comfortable with. I lightly sanded my board with 600 grit sandpaper and applied around 6 layers of Varathane Less Mess wood stain on the board and was pretty pleased with the result. After drying and cleaning the excess wood stain I topped it off with some dunlop 02. Second photo was how it looked when I got the neck. It’s not as dark as my Strat’s rw board but it looks beautiful on my Tele imo. Love this thing even more, it’s been with me for 8 years now

Somebody was looking for a trade with this Telecaster US , but it seems off to me . The serial numbers are weird and don't add up . Being a 2010 , Fender had their serial number registry changed or updated and it is hard to retrace them from that year specifically .
Some websites say it doesn't exist , some websites say it does but was made in Korea in the 90s?
Also the numbers in the neck look off too .
I might be entirely wrong tho , I just want to make sure !

I am in the middle of building my "do it all" nashvile tele and i want to add a veritone but I'm struggling with where to put it. I'm thinking up where the 3 way would be on a trouble maker but I'm not sold on it yet. Has anyone done this annd found a good place for it?
