Hi. I'm going to sell my '99 telecaster (sn n9...) I need to return to my strat roots!
It's a lovely white blonde transparent finish (whiter than the photo) with an ash body and maple neck, modern bridge. I want to know if it's an American Standard or something else. I haven't seen another with this modern bridge and finish other than the odd custom shop.
It's got a vintage 60s cream pearl scratch plate and Texas special pups.
Can any one help? I can't find anything definitive online.
Many thanks in advance!

Sure looks like an American Standard to me, though the Blond Trans finish is not currently offered.

Add a pic of the headstock.

cheers!

Thanks both. Here's a headstock pic. I was fairly sure it was a standard.

Regarding choosing a strat...moneywise I think it'll have to be a 90s or 00s? I wanted a 1 piece ash body, will this make any difference over a 2 or 3 piece alder? Is this possible? Any thoughts... Thanks in advance.
