Wassa ashtray on a guitar?
An ashtray is the bridge cover on a Fender Tele or Strat. Most musicians don't like them (in place) on their guitars, so people discard them and often wind up using them as an 'ashtray'.........

Love to know just where finger rest was added. Most people who don't like the default configuration either take the rest(s) off (and lose them) or move one of the rests. Price seems pretty reasonable too, especially compared to a near birth year Precision for $19.5K.
