Members andthenurse Posted January 25, 2006 Members Share Posted January 25, 2006 always liked the look of the ashtray covers on Strats - nobody seems to make them, however, for the 'block' saddle trem on my 88 USA Standard....anyone able to help me out?

Members Edward Posted January 25, 2006 Members Share Posted January 25, 2006 I'll bump ya case anyone knows different, but I doubt you'll see them. They come on the high end reissue models, of course, where they're trying to give you as close to the new guitar in 57 spec, but the reality is that - like 99% of the originals - the first thing most players will do is take them off and throw them in a drawer.

Members Faber Posted January 25, 2006 Members Share Posted January 25, 2006 Do a search for "ashtray" in accessories on the fender web site. Sems you can order one. Don't know why you want to though. When I had one, it was always in the way, and you can't palm mute. YMMV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jamesclark Posted January 25, 2006 Members Share Posted January 25, 2006 I kind of like them on some guitars. Like whats been said, most people take them off. You might try guitarpartsresource. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Blackbelt1 Posted January 25, 2006 Members Share Posted January 25, 2006 A couple of my Strats came with them and I tried leaving them on and they kept popping off all by themselves. What a pain. I chucked 'em and don't miss 'em. ~Blackbelt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Shellpink Posted January 26, 2006 Members Share Posted January 26, 2006 They won't fit on a american standard trem, I'm afraid. Besides, they tend to rattle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Blackbelt1 Posted January 26, 2006 Members Share Posted January 26, 2006 Originally posted by jamesclark Still into your Electro Hollow? Absolutely. I cut my time in half right now, about 50% on one of the Strats, the other 50% on the Gretsch.Sometime over the next couple of years I'm going to throw down for a high end Gretsch, either the White Falcon or the Reverend Horton Heat model (of the two I like the Revho guitar more). I've been "prepping" my wife for this moment but it's a slow process. In the meantime the GC here has the Variax 300's marked down to $399; I am fairly certain I'm going to snag one this weekend to go with my Pod XTL. ~Blackbelt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
