I have a 52 Hot Rod Tele that I purchased new about 2 years ago. She plays great and feels great but there is something about the look that has always bothered me.
first..... the bridge is not centered between the pickguard, and either the bridge or pickguard is slightly crooked.
then...........the fret dots are not centered between the D and G strings. I have adjusted the saddles and reset the neck so that the strings are centered over the dots at the bridge, but as they get closer to the headstock they really fade off to one direction. (The nut seems to be centered at the head stock fine).
Have a look at these pictures and tell me what you think.
Obviously the playability of the guitar doesn't seem affected, but I am a bit of a perfectionist, and visual things like that bother me.
Thanks.
