FenderReplacement Vintage Telecaster Bridge Cover
1/2
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Chrome-style bridge cover for a Telecaster, the removable 'ashtray' over the bridge plate. Cosmetic restoration part for vintage-style Teles.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Restoring a Telecaster to its original ashtray-cover look
- Replacing a lost or dented cover on a vintage-style Tele
- Players who pick behind the bridge and want the string shield
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Anyone who picks near the bridge or palm mutes there
- Non-Telecaster body shapes or modern bridge plates
- Players wanting bridge pickup access without removing hardware
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Bridge cover, not a bridge
Purely a shell over existing hardware. No saddles, no plate, no intonation change.
Detail 03
Covers the bridge pickup
Blocks direct access to the bridge pickup and to picking behind the saddles. Most players remove it for this reason.
Detail 04
SS pickup layout
Intended for a standard two-single-coil Tele. Aftermarket humbucker bridge routes may not clear it.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01No mounting screws included in every case, check what you have

- 03Palm muting at the bridge is not possible with it on
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Does this fit any Telecaster?
It fits vintage-style Tele bridge plates with cover mounting holes. Modern or aftermarket plates often lack those holes entirely.
02Why do people take these off?
It sits over the bridge pickup and blocks palm muting and bridge-area picking. Function lost the argument with looks.
03Will it change my tone?
No. It does not touch the strings, saddles or pickup. It is a cosmetic shell.
04Can I install it myself?
Yes, if your bridge plate has the holes. Two screws and a screwdriver. No soldering or setup work needed.
