I’m not sure if it is adjustable FrankenWashie, the metal seems to be embedded (like a fret). I like the idea of adjustability for intonation with...

Thanks, it will look much better with bracket corner and body corner together. I was 95% sure that was the best way to go, now 100%.

Getting there, the top is at a point now where I feel like anymore coats of tru oil would be pointless its come up really nice,it's nice and flat and...

Mis-labelling aside, it looks freaking sweet. Igor turns green(er) with envy!

Referencing my Dobro, the tailpiece corner sits flush on the corner of the front face, It do that on my kit, the pointed end protrudes an...

Yep, I did the registration thing on the Fender web site .... While strictly speaking this mis-labeling is a 'defect' I doubt I'll claim on it as I...

All good mate, it’s something I picked up with my Eastman, though it doesn’t have the same sort of adjustability for intonation that it seems you...

Thanks FrankenWashie. The bottom of the bridge is already curved at what appears to be an appropriate shape. Good sanding tip, I’ll use it if...

Yup, that looks about right mate. Interesting looking bridge. With the curved profile on the ES you may want to scope out where it is going to sit,...

Enter your serial number into this link. https://www.fender.com/product-registration/serial-search Just now as a test I entered two of mine, it...

So it's been a while. I put my builds on the backburner for a while after running into some frustrations and life intrusions, but I've made some...

Hi folks, I’ve unsuccessful searched how to assemble a floating bridge. Is this correct? Metal threads (hex key side up) screwed down into the wooden...

Wow, hope mine looks half as good. Patience, patience, patience.

Maybe.... A browse of all Tele models on the Fender AU site has two possible models to source necks from, being the Squire Vintage Modified...

I’m another victim of timber fibre adhering to painters tape upon removal. Once again not to the extent Teamjeffo experienced. I’ll keep the ebony...

As referred to, I've had some personal experience with F Aust and my guess would be ... at Australian inspection your neck wasn't perfect. They have...

Yeah, I can't say much about Fender AU or the retailer I bought the gear through. I will say the retailer has done their best in getting four Fender...

Basses are fine, I prefer guitars....But I just love Rick basses and yours looks like another stellar build in the making.

I've been told by Fender Australia that all product is opened, inspected and re-sealed in Sydney before shipping to dealers. They the importer have...

Fender Australia also import Gretsch. I ordered and paid $900 deposit on an expensive MIJ Gretsch. When It (the only one in the country) arrived they...

Fender Australia have a history of receiving damaged items from the US and mix and matching in Sydney before they forward to the retailers. It...

Admittedly mine was a burst but and it's a big but, my Tele Delux body didn't look much like that and there may be a minor issue with the number of...

I doubt it.... It came as part of an order for four Fender brand items through an Aussie retailer. All four Fender items from the Aussie distributor...

Sorry to be a little negative BUT is there a chance it had some slight damage and was refinished (incorrectly) by a third party before it left the...

WOW!!! WOW!!! WOW!!! That's a collectors piece, hang on to it or sell it to me :-)

I cannot imagine any scenario where that could happen... without intent.

AND it says TELEcaster...... not STRATocaster like it should.... Big Oooops by Fender Mexico...

Not in Mexican years. cheers, Mark.

The word "Deluxe" on yours, not on Aust Fender page. Also word Fender gold on Aust page and black on yours.
