Today I was in Guitar Center looking at three different 2011 Teles:

American Deluxe Tele® Ash, 9.5"-14" Compound Radius (24.1 cm-35.56 cm)
American Deluxe Telecaster, 9.5"-14" Compound Radius (24.1 cm-35.56 cm)
American Standard Telecaster, 9.5" (24.1 cm)

On the Fender website, all three of these are described as having a Modern "C" Shape neck. However, each neck felt different. The Ash Deluxe was definitely thicker than the Deluxe, and the Standard felt thinner still. The compound radius is spec'ed the same on the two deluxes. So why are they noticeably different in feel?

If this helps answer, there are other differences between the deluxe models too: no belly cut on the Ash, but belly cut on the Alder. Different inlays for the dots and headstock too.

I really liked the thickness of the Ash Deluxe - are there other Teles that share this thick neck? As you can see, I can't tell from simply looking at the specs.
