WOW Jim that is a wonderful looking Tele! I love that vintage honey colored finish on the body, fretboard, and neck. I look forward to hearing some good tunes come out of it. I'm envious!

James, I don't want to poop on your choice of the tele but as far as I can see the bridge
only has three string saddles on it. A design flaw of the original Fender telecasters.
It means that with two strings on each saddle, only one string on each saddle can be
properly intonated to concert pitch. The other string will never be perfectly in tune due to
larger diameter requiriing the saddle to be adjusted for a longer length.

I had a Gibson SG junior many years ago. It had the same flawed bridge design. Hard Tail.
I fought with it for one summer then, disgusted with the crap tuning ability, got rid of it.
Bought a Les Paul with a tuneable bridge. Problem solved.

Another feature that cannot be used with non-adjustable bridges is using alternate tunings.
All my electric guitars are set for sweetened tuning. Stretched four cents from A at 440 cycles.

Something to consider before you part with money for a guitar with a dinosaur bridge on it.
