I was wondering what, if any, are the differences between a 2004 Am Std Tele and a 2010 Am Std Tele. Thanks for any info.

The bridge.
2004 had the steel block saddles with a thick, heavily chromed bridge plate. The 2010 has the brass, chrome plated bridge plate and bent steel saddles like a Strat.

Another major difference between the two instruments is the neck.

The American Series has a satin finish all over the neck while the American Standard uses a satin back and glossy tint for the headstock front and the fretboard.

Both guitars feature a modern "C" shape maple neck with a 9,5" radius, 22 medium-jumbo frets and staggered die-cast tuning machines eliminating the need for a second string tree.

The neck has rolled edges and detailed nut/fret treatment for a broken "worn-in" feel.

Both the American Series and American Standards (the current ones, not the first-generation) use the same "rolled edge" neck, with the only difference between the two guitars being the tinted gloss for the fingerboard and the front of the headstock.
