The first Tele I ever saw had a bridge cover. They are beautiful with the
cover on, and while the cover restricts picking near the bridge (most folks
don't do that much of that anyway, do they?), and adds a little extra work
changing strings or setting intonation, the Telecaster with the bridge cover
is so, so pretty.

Speaking of pretty guitars, I've got a nice one, and I'm sure that real
guitarists would think that some bang out 4 or 5 chord rock song hack like
me doesn't deserve to play one of these, but I have small hands, and in 1st
position the neck feels really nice.

If they made a little gold tone bridge cover for my Blueshawk, it would make
the guitar even prettier. Like this one.

Electric guitar bridges are ugly. Look at these Telecasters.
