Just got an American Pro in Butterscotch Blonde and I'm seeing it has a three piece Ash body. Is this normal. I would have thought the Pro came with a one piece body. With the coloring you can definitely see where the wood has been glued together.

I have never seen a one piece Fender Telecaster body, although I imagine that the Custom Shop made a few at some point.
Three piece Fender bodies are the norm on MIA Telecasters, with two piece Fender bodies being the exception.

MJ is correct. Additionally, expecting a premium or custom shop level piece of wood on a volume production guitar is expecting WAY too much and just not realistic.
