Is it true the Deluxe series is being discontinued or not? There seems to be a bit of confusion.

I remember someone posting the other day that someone at Fender had said so but I cant for the life of me remember who.

As most of you know I plan on getting an AV 52 RI this year but I am now considering an American Deluxe guitar especially if they are going as I would like to have something more unique although I see the colour I wanted has gone, Montego Black with Gold guard.

Also, speaking of the colours, how come if I go one route to the pro-tube amp series it only has the black w/black pepper grill Super-Sonic head and then if I go another route it only has the cream w/ oxblood grill version?

And lastly has the Telecoustic Deluxe gone or not? It was off the products section last week but was back when I checked earlier today yet some sites still list it as discontinued.

I wish the product section here was more thorough and with a wealth of pictures. I'm confused every time and I have said before about some specs being wrong however they fixed the particular product specs I brought up, ironically the Telecoustic Deluxe, so why fix it if its discontinued??

Arrggh, my head!!!

I read that somewhere too. Maybe it's time for a re-name or a feature change. I don't think it would go away though, as it fills the gap between the standards and higher end custom shop stuff.
