Loking for help on a Telecaster or similar....
Jean-Luc Pickguard replied to rwillett's topic in Other Instruments
In your position I'd probably take a spokeshave to the kit guitar neck followed by some sanding to get a better profile. What's the worst that can happen? -
The listing says it comes with the original case, but only an aluminium edged flight case is pictured. The sunburst looks a bit unusual, but could it have been a three colour burst where the red has faded from sitting in the sunlight for too long?

I've never heard a difference in tone or sustain from fitting a shim, however whenever I shim a bass I always use a thin piece of card in the bridge end of the neck pocket. This will increase the angle of the neck rather than just raise it. A thin shim applied like this will have as much impact on the height of the string at the bridge as a much thicker full pocket spacer like a credit card.

Bent bridge on old Tanglewood Rebel
Jean-Luc Pickguard replied to max_overdrive's topic in Repairs and Technical
The two back screws in tis pic look like they came from B&Q rather than being the type used on instruments, so maybe the bridge isn't original to the bass? In your position I would be inclined to order something like this one: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/276111677941 and be prepared to fill & redrill the holes if they don't match up.- 14 replies
