r/telecaster
Identification please help!!
Hello all, I bought this lovely telecaster over 10 years ago from a studio in Yorkshire, UK. I have never seen another exactly the same as it (the deluxe style pick guard and layout with the small headstock), it doesn't seem to have a serial number other than some standard ones, no 'made in/crafted in' anywhere, and the Duncan neck pick up. I completely understand why most people assume it's a partscaster but I still hold out hope as the studio I bought it off were extremely convincing - although I don't remember their convincing reasoning anymore.. All the parts feel and look legit and I don't understand why anyone would make a partscaster out of all official parts so maybe custom? Someone who recognises this please give me some good news. Cheers 🫡

Bacchus TAC24AD
It is rainy and gloomy and I took a MH today. This morning’s practice wasn’t too hot.
This afternoon was a lot better. I got into a better rhythm and did much better. For this deja vu moment, I used my Andre Dinuth Signature made by Bacchus.
The official model name is TAC24AD-FMH RSM/M.
I stumbled upon him by accident on YouTube and I enjoyed watching him play.
And I later reached out to Deviser who makes Bacchus and Momose among others about buying one direct and they were very accommodating. Great company to work with.

Struggling the justify the purchase of a new guitar
I currently own an early 2000s Squier that I’ve been learning guitar on for a while. It’s served me well, but I’ve run into a few issues that are starting to hold me back.
Only the bridge pickup has ever worked, the nut is wearing down, and I’m noticing more and more dead frets. I’ve tried to fix the fret issues myself, but haven’t had any success. It’s still fine for basic chord playing, but now that I’m starting to learn more songs and lead parts, these problems are becoming really frustrating. I’ll get most of the way through a song and then hit a dead fret that stops me progressing, which has started to kill my motivation a bit.
From what I can tell, it would cost more to properly repair it than what I originally paid for the guitar. Because of that, and because I’ve been thinking about upgrading anyway, I’ve been looking at used guitars on Facebook Marketplace.
The issue I’m running into is that I'm struggling to justify even a fairly cheap guitar because I grew up without much money for hobbies or “luxury” purchases, even though I’m in a much better financial position now.
In a way, I catch myself thinking I’d only feel comfortable if I was buying something more “investment-like” (like a higher-end Fender or vintage piece) that holds its value, rather than just a regular upgrade guitar. But that feels like overthinking it.
Has anyone else been in a similar position and if so, how did you approach it?

Best saddles for b bending?
despite lubrication, the b strings have cut way down into the brass saddles I've been using on my tele. Now I've got sitar buzz and bad intonation. anybody have favorites for their b benders? I assume steel is the way to go, but would like something that vaguely matches the van dyke-harms saddles that im using on the other strings

Telecaster Repair
Found someone local selling a Mexican Telecaster for the the price of a new Squier Classic Vibe! It sounds like a bargain but there are some damages on the body and a dent on the neck (11th fret on the A string).
Does anyone have experience on quotes to fix damages like this? To be honest they are not really noticeable at a distance but these up close shots are very clear

Narrow string spacing bridge for Fender Standard Tele made in Indonesia
I have a Fender Standard Tele made in Indonesia and it came with a wide spacing bridge (56mm E to e, on the outer sides). I'm looking to get the string spacing to 54mm or 52.5mm.
Any recommendations?

Bone nut for Player II Tele
I don't suppose anyone has a source for a pre slotted bone nut for a Player II Telecaster? I believe they are 42mm wide and 9 1/2" radius. I've been looking for a while this evening and starting to get frustrated.
