![]() And because American Standard (and Squier Standard) tele bridgeplates had rather high (towards neck) STB holes. And having saddles slammed against the bottom of the plate, yet with STB holes that high, to get the guitar intonated, is an anomaly. Reason I ask, I agree that a distance of only 72mm (7.2cm) from STB holes to top of bridgeplate is rather short, but that might be from measuring the edge (rather than center) of the STB holes. Assez rare sur le marché de l’occasion, même au Japon. I usually use a feet/inches based metal tape measure that will lock in place and has a stop at the first, butting that stop against the nut.ĭid you buy the guitar new? If not, do you know if the bridgeplate is original to that guitar, or was it added later? If you don’t know that, post a clear straight-on (not angle view) of the back of the guitar, showing the ferrules. ARIA Pro II Japan Telecaster Thinline TE-500 Backaroo, made in japan à Matsumoku. Inches or whatever is convenient for measuring, will do there. I love those names the Japanese versions of American guitars had - Backaroo, Breezy Sound, Reborn Old, etc. Measure the distance from the neck-facing side of the nut, to a line intersecting all 6 string through body holes. That's pretty nice, a far cry from the Aria's I remember in the 80's. Please show distances in millimeters, from the center of holes where those holes are a point of reference, and make your numbers clear. I‘m away from home until mid April, but if you haven’t figured out nut-to-STB-holes distance on a Squier by then, I’ll measure that on one of mine if you want. Or if you want a neo-vintage, you might be able to use a Kluson or Joe Barden hybrid plate made to fit an American Standard. Then if you still want a thick flat plate pick the better match. Then I’d remove your original bridgeplate temporarily to see if the sideways spacing of the body’s string through holes (as measured from top, underneath the bridgeplate sits), are wide enough to more easily accommodate either the wider Squier or narrower American spacing. ![]() In my experience, those two standards are close enough to identical, to fit on a Squier Standard Telecaster (because the STB holes in its body are oversized). And I’d compare that to the same on an American Standard Telecaster, and a 2000 or newer Squier Standard Telecaster. ![]() Click to expand.I’d measure the distance from the fretboard side of the nut, to the center of the existing bridgeplate’s string through holes. ![]()
