The early telecasters came with this ashtray cover as it is called. Most Tele players don't use one. I recently found an offset Tele by a different manufacturer. This cover fit over the bridge easily. I like to rest my hand on the top of it while I play. You have to be able to remove it to change strings. It comes off quickly, but is secure when pressed down to lock in. I recommend it for users who like the look or find it a asset to your playing style. AMEN

This cover seems just like the originals. The problem is... they don’t fit. They’re too loose and do not stay on. In fact, they fall right off. Fender tells me that they have had issues with these plates not fitting the classic models because of the difference in string spacing. Seems like a poor excuse. I would be careful about buying one. Especially if you have 50’s reissue Tele. Now I have a great looking cover that doesn’t work.

I put this bridge cover on my Squier Classic Vibe Telecaster. Snaps on nicely, a little loose, but I think it would be the same no matter which guitar make I had.....

Mine went on and fit tight as long as it was crooked. Upon investigation I noticed the dimples that are supposed to hold it on are not in the correct place on one side. causing it to fit crooked. I held it in place where it is supposed to be and whacked it with a rubber mallet making a new dimple in the correct place. Now it's straight!

Works great and looks nice, I’ve installed it on two telecasters with vintage style ashtray bridges. The cover fits perfectly, and the price is very reasonable, I can recommend it if you’re going for that vintage tele look. ,
