Hey guys just picked up a new american tele deluxe with a rosewood neck and cherryburst finish. I have not bought a new tele in 14 years and after checking this out in GC I just had to add one to the herd .I picked up a mint 2008 on ebay for $1,070 from a music store in SAN FRAN that was never sold. Everything is immaculate and perfect. My question is that as this is my first Fender with the S1 switching when I open the tone knob all the way it kind of locks.I mean it does not roll back and forth looslie it will roll all the way then stick and then I have to use a lil pressure to unlock it to have it roll back the other way,it rolls nice and smoothly so I am wondering is this the way this tone knob operates .THANKS GUYS

This seems to be normal. Mine does the same thing - I was actually kind of wondering about it myself

So thank you

Not sure if your guitar comes with no-load tone circuit, or Delta tone circuit. If it does, and from your description it appears so, those pots come with a detent at "position 10".

Yep, it's normal. It's the No-Load master tone control. My '08 American Standard does it too.

Wow, you got a screaming good deal on that American Deluxe. Enjoy. :D
