Be advised that a vintage Tele has 4 plate mounting screw hole locations with 3 saddle bolts, and the Modern Tele that has 6 saddles have just 3 plate mounting locations under the saddle. With compensated saddle designs, I find the intonation is close enough.

Matching headstock veneer, flame maple, tobacco burst. Gotoh tuners, old metal logo with 'Made in USA" fine print line.

Update 2020: I did get my Sheptone's , Upshot (F-spaced)  in the bridge position, Tribute 4 (Alnico 4) in the neck. Fender circa 1978 Strat pickup in the middle. PRS branded plastic pickup rings. I was surprised at how rare the flat bottom, no-tilt humbucker pickup ring is. I guess the the...
