When Fender introduced their American Standard line in 2008, they added an HSS Strat without the S1 switch in the series but forgot to include an SH Tele with a neck humbucker.

Did you think it's the right time for the Tele to get a chrome-covered splittable Enforcer humbucker in the neck?

Given all the garbage they're doing with the lower lines, I too am surprised there's no HB option for the neck pickup on the AS. I would have bought one in a second.

The 1st generation American Standards and the later American Series had an option for a neck humbucker. Fender did an American HH with dual Enforcer humbucking pickups and S-1 switching from 2003 to 2007.

During their first years of production both the pickguard and S1 switch were absent. Fender went later to a more traditional look by adding a 1-ply beveled black vinyl pickguard before the change to a 3-ply parchment in 2006. Both the Tele SH and HH were all taken out of production in 2007.
