Hey guys,
I am looking at getting a new tele. I currently own only a mexi standard tele an am looking to upgrade to an american made model. Which of the two would you suggest? Is the quality on the american standard really that much better than the highway 1? (I understand that theyre both american made).

Thanks for the help!

Hello Apothecurious,

Firstly welcome to this forum.

Well, to me they both sound great.

The Am/Std has a more durable finish.
and comes with a airline friendly case{$150 value}
So for me I'd choose the American standard
Make mine natural w/ rosewood fingerboard.

Cheers.

I would get the American Standard ! :) In my opinion it's a step up! Mine would have a maple neck too! 8) Read the specs on the two and you'll see the difference. :wink:

this makes it tough... because the price difference between the two after getting a case for the highway one would only be about $150-$200....

The one thing i do like about the highway 1 is the thinner finish... I like the idea of wearing down the finish myself.. etc. Ill think about it. Thanks for the help!

Also the big frets in the highway one are nicer for me :P but you really have to choose the one that fits to your playing ....... :)
