I've been happy with my variety of Mexican made tele's up until I picked up one of the new American Deluxe Tele. I'm convinced that they're making guitars as good as ever if not better, especially on the Amer. guitar productions. I'm looking to upgrade my favorite player, a MIM '72 Tele Deluxe. I love this guitar but find the Humbucker, especially in the neck position muddy. I was looking into an American equivalent upgrade in hopes of improved electronics and particularly the pickups. Looking at specs, I'm seeing that the "American Vintage '72 telecaster Thinline" comes stock with "Fender Wide Range Humbuckers".... same as stated that the MIM '72 Tele Deluxe comes with. Are they actually the same? No upgraded pickups on from the MIM 72 Deluxe and the new Amer. Vintage Thinlines?

Both your American and Mexican made Teles use the same MIM RI pickup. Of note is the fact that these are nothing like the originals (for better or for worse).
