So I stopped in a local music store last week to pick up a few sets of strings, spotted a Blues Deluxe amp and decided to give it a try. The guy hands me a Tele, after a couple of minutes of playing I totally lost the amp and was just so enjoying the guitar. Just under an hour later, I’m walking out the door with 3 sets of strings and a new American Standard Tele, for last year’s price. SWEET…

Different from my strat which has a 12” radius rosewood neck, the gloss maple neck made bends feel smoother, the smaller neck radius made barre cords easier for my size hands. It won’t replace my strat, but is a fabulous addition.

I'm glad to hear you like it because I just ordered a 09 American Standard Tele today. I told the wife I needed to add a tele to my collection of strats to even it out! She went for it! :)

I call it an 09 because it was made at the Corona factory 2008-2009 so I'm taking the liberty of calling it a 09. There is no differences in the specs sheet and I got it at 08 prices! Black with maple neck to match my Gilmour! 8)

When I figure out the photo posting thing I will, the Tele is black and with the sapphire blue Strat, they are beautiful together. They amp will have to wait, remember, I only stopped in to get strings. But when I do look for an amp, I will bring my guitar since if I tried a Gilmour, I’d probably be looking to sell my car. :D :D

Ah, it's good to know that other Fender Forum members have recently taken the American Standard Tele plunge. I was at Guitar Center playing 2008 American Standard Stratocasters and ended up buying an Olympic White with maple fretboard Strat. I also played a 3 color Sunburst American Standard Tele and I could not get it out of my mind. Hmmm, I have money left over from a home improvement project... why not? Why not, indeed.

I'm sold on the 2008 American Standard upgrades. I'm glad I wised up before the price increase.
