2017 Fender American Professional Telecaster

Candy apple red finish
Alder body
9.5 in Radius
Maple neck
Shaw designed v-mod pickups
3 Brass saddles
2 way truss rod
Bone nut

This one came in because the Saddle was making the string sound like a sitar. The saddles needed to be sanded slightly to get the string to sit in the correct spot instead of over top of the screw making it rattle.

The B string set over the adjustment screw causing a vibration to make it sound like a sitar.

I filed the middle saddle just enough to allow the outer two saddle to pull in a little and let the strings sit in the correct position.

You can see the be string sitting in the correct position now that i filed the middle saddle.

I reset the action, intonation and saddle radius to help the situation.

I lubricated the friction points for the strings to help tuning stability.
