I've had an American Deluxe Telecaster on order for quite some time now. At the estimated time of arrival, I will be just short of an entire year of waiting. I've noticed that Fender seems to be catching up on most guitars, but not at all on the new Deluxe Telecasters. Even the American Deluxe Stratocasters (SSS configuration) seem to have great stock online and decent stock in store. HSS's, okay online stock. In addition, most of the upper range American Telecasters (Standard, 52 RI, 52 Hot Rod, etc.) seem have good stock. Anyone know why Fender isn't getting their American Deluxe Telecasters out? I am familiar with all the delay excuses (opening a new paint facility, layoffs, underestimated demand, etc.), but why specifically the American Deluxe Telecasters? Maybe this is more of a customer service question but any knowledge helps me keep my impatience from kicking myself in the teeth as each ETA keeps getting pushed back :D.

.: Oh yea, please share pictures of the new guitars that Fender IS getting out! :.

Thanks,

Lee

Yeh, my new date is sometime in Feb. Don't know why Am Deluxes don't seem to show up. I still think GC, Musician's Friend and Sweetwater, etc. are getting theirs while the local independents are getting left out. Who knows, maybe its our punishment for complaining.

My order is through Guitar Center and Musician's Friend is owned by Guitar Center! I've been watching the bigger stores too and they haven't been getting American Deluxe Telecasters in! I've been looking at buying a Pigtronix EP-2 pedal because I have absolutely lost my mind in anticipation.

Fender, if you're reading this, please give me my mind back. And Lelms mind too. Thanks.

Lelms,

I played one at Guitar Center and it sounded unbelievable through a Twin Reverb. The S-1 was a perfect amount of boost, the pickups sounded great, finish was immaculate, weight was just right, the contours and overall feel of the neck was perfect.

My comment was a soft poke at the situation seeing how it has been so long in getting one. But, there is still a long 3 weeks left in February. We might get lucky. It is mostly out of my daily thoughts. My exitement has flattened out to monotone. I'm sure it will rise up when I have it in my hands.

Yea I'm not trying to start a forum fire here I was just curious. In my opinion, the guitar is worth waiting for and of course I just wish it would come. According to a Fender rep, those who ordered around May should be receiving their guitars sometime in April.

Well, that is not good news to me. I ordered in August. So that translates to July for me. Based on a new date every couple of months I sure wouldn't bet my life on that either. If mine doesn't get here in Feb. I might go another way.
