1952 Fender Telecaster barn find guitar

This 1952 Fender Telecaster was found in the barn after the original owner passed away. He bought it new and played it all his life. He refinished the guitar a couple of times and lost the original pickguard along the way.

I'm always a vintage Fender guitar buyer, but I'm especially looking for Fender Telecaster guitars from the 1950s and 1960s. You can contact me here to sell a vintage Fender guitar

1952 Fender Telecaster bridge plate

The original bridge has two cutouts on either sides of the saddles but I was unable to determine why. It appears that two half washers were welded to support the cutouts. It's always fun to buy vintage guitars like this.
