Personally I never seen an American Deluxe Power Tele® with that extra Strat® pickup in the middle & 7-way switching system. And I wonder if there was enough room in the control plate for a 2nd toggle blending the output between the three Vintage Noiseless™ pickups and the Fishman® Powerbridge.

Here is a MIM Nashville Deluxe Power Tele - I swapped out the pick guard for this black one...Image

John had it right the first time.
The American Deluxe Power Teles were never configured in a "Nashville" option.
The "Power" bridge was the only option for the AD Teles in 2000-2001.
Not Nashville and not Power Nashville, those were not options.
If a Nashville style Tele has the Power Bridge it was likely added later and is not an American Deluxe.
Or ... if an AD Power Tele has a third pup, the pup was added later.
If it is an authentic AD Power Tele from those years it will have a special bridge plate and rear cavities with some switching.
If it has those things and the serial number checks out then you will know it started life as an AD Power Tele and someone added the third pup after the fact.

The product codes for the guitars in question were:

010-5700
&
010-5702

The two codes were for fretboard wood, ie: maple/rosewood.
The pic I provided is from the schematics for the 010-5700/2
The low res may make deciphering the cavity wording difficult.
The switches were for "Subsonic Filter" and "Stereo/Mono"

Just think of how awesome a guitar player you could have been by now if you had only spent the last 10 years practicing instead of obsessing over pickups and roasted maple necks.
