80s Fender Japan Telecaster Bridge A-serial Telecaster bridges were used for a long time, from around 1985 to the 2000s. A-serial neck plates were only used around 1985. This one is from the 8000s, so it's a fairly young serial number. It's a young serial number that's hard to find. I was planning to build a blue Telecaster and looked for a JV serial, but couldn't find one, so I got this one for the time being. It has brass saddles and minus screws, 52 spec. I polished it with compound, but it's in a natural relic state. There's rust, dullness, and plating wear, so it seems like it would match a body with character. Thank you for looking.
