I have a 2008 American Deluxe Ash Telecaster. It’s great and I love it, but I’m having a hard time getting used to the neck. Compared to my American Standard Stratocaster, the neck feels wide and thick.

I really love the American Deluxe Telecaster with the contoured body, cherry burst finish and maple neck. Even though my blonde ash lists for more, I’m considering trading for the cherry.

What do you guys think—should I do it? I would be happier with the finish and body I prefer, but I hear that ash is a better wood for guitars which is kind of why I bought that guitar in the first place. However, when I got it, I was disappointed that the finish looks more natural than it does butterscotch. Should I just keep it?

Also, does the cherry have the same neck as the blonde?

Bear with me; I’m still a beginner.

Thanks for the advice.

First off welcome to the forum!
I think I would wait and see, you said you are a beginner, right?
Well in the beginning I traded away some nice stuff thinking I didn't like it, only to search it out later. Maybe wait and see as you progress to find out what you dig and don't dig.

Thanks for your advice.

Do you know if the neck on the two guitars are the same?

Does Fender make a Tele with a strat-like neck?

FOLLOW YOUR HEART GRASSHOPPER, BUT BE ADVISED YOU WILL LOSE MONEY ON A TRADE IN, IT'S NOT A BAD THING TO HAVE DIFFERENT GUITARS WITH DIFFERENT NECK SIZES, I HAVE 14 GUITARS ALL WITH DIFFERENT NECKS, WHATEVER GUITAR YOU HAVE IN HAND WILL TAKE A LITTLE TIME TO ADJUST AND ALSO THE MORE GUITARS YOU PLAY THE BETTER YOU'LL GET THE FEEL OF WHAT YOU TRULEY LIKE, SO DON'T PAINT YOURSELF INTO A CORNER, EXPAND.
