So, the title pretty much says it all. I know that at some point maybe in the late 80's or early 90's Fender included the TBX in (all?) the American Standard line. A friend of mine's 1996 Am. Std. Strat (SN N6178XXX) has no TBX.
He bought it used (seller claimed the guitar was 100% stock), and after taking a look inside, we are 99% sure the TBX was removed by the previous owner (my friend had never opened the pickguard) He didn't know those 1996's should come with TBXs :roll: , but anyway, that made me think: did Fender ever made some Am. Std. Strats with no TBX or no Delta Tone at some point? Maybe a special-run or limited edition? The possibility exists?

Just in case I come across with someone saying they have an "all-original no TBX Standard" again :wink:

I'm not sure if you found your answer, but I found that Fender did not install the Delta Tone system into left handed versions of the guitar. Maybe the same goes for the TBX control.

I don't know if yours is left handed but if it is, that's probably why.

To the best of my knowledge, in that year, TBX in the Claptons only. Delta-Tone in the MIA Standards.
