Description
Before players started ripping them off for easier palm-muting access, every Telecaster (and its predecessor, the Esquire) shipped with a chrome-plated ashtray cover shielding the bridge. This is that piece, built by Fender to the exact spec of the part first seen on the 1950 Esquire.
If your Tele is missing its cover, or you’re restoring a build to period-correct condition, this drops right in. It’s made from plated steel, matching the look and heft of the vintage originals rather than a lightweight modern reproduction. Beyond the cosmetic payoff, players who run with the cover on note it can add a touch of extra resonance and sustain, echoing the tone character of old-school Teles.
- Genuine Fender plated-steel construction
- Faithful to the design introduced on the 1950 Esquire
- Fits most left- or right-handed Telecaster guitars with a vintage-style three-saddle bridge
Whether you’re chasing an all-original vintage aesthetic or just want your Tele to look the part on stage, this ashtray cover is an easy, authentic upgrade — and a solid stocking stuffer for the Tele obsessive in your life.
