1st review of mine.
I bought the 2011 60th Anniversary American Standard Blond for $999.00 NEW a few weeks ago.
Also just got my NEW 2012 American Standard in Natural color for $855.
(I think I got a decent deal}

To me the Neck is Kinda sticky on the 2011 60th Anniversary,maybe its because they use Lacquer on the guitar?
Sounds very good and there is a Boost when you turn the Tone all the wayssss up(not much of a boost}
As for the 2012 Natural (its really a hottttt looking guitar}
Both guitars are Ash and the 2012s Neck is muchhhh smoother then the 2011 maybe because the 2012s are made with Urethane???
Also the sound of the guitar is also very good.and it seems that the
2012s have a Master Delta Tone as where the 2011s don't.

Overall.......
I like the 2012s better
They seem More Rock and Roll in sound Maybe because of the
(Custom Shop Broadcaster and the Custom Shop "Twisted" Tele Single-Coil Neck Pickup ???}
Also the Urethane on the 2012s Makes useing the neck more easy moving up and down.
I will not be looking to sell my 2011 60th Anniversary at all,butttttt I think I will use it maybe atads less
As for the Master Delta Tone on the 2012s(I don't hear anything differant from both guitars when you turn the tone all the wayssss up}............JT

Personally, I like the 2012 Am Std Teles better. For what it's worth, in my opinion, the Broadcast and Twisted Tele pickups are the difference.

I checked out some new telecasters today and I agree the 2012 is amazing. I am not sure I want to buy new in store where I can play a bunch or just order online. I have a guy in New England who can get me a 2012 for $850 so I may jump.

Great review, not sure why the boost is there on the 2011, isn't it just a standard tone pot?

I understand why you may get that sound with the delta tone (theres a notch in the tone pot that basically bypasses the tonepot completely) but not sure why you get it on the 2011. Is there something I'm missing here?

You're 100% right in the difference in neck feels, thats a difference in finish. I play in a rock covers band, so 2-3 songs in I get a bit sweaty which is why I prefer the kinda sticky stuff, which turns to ultra fast with a bit of sweat :)

And its the 2012 pickups that make it sound more rocky, those are custom shop designed pickups in there which is why that thing kicks arse.

Finally, don't fret over what Violin Parent said about price, you got the best deal YOU could, someone else could always get it cheaper and someon else will alway pay more. As long as you're happy with your guitars (which it sounds like you are) then don't worry about what ya paid for them.

I've heard many people say how good the 2012s are. I guess I'll have to go check them out sometime. I didn't realize they had custom shop pickups in them either, this makes me VERY interested!
Thanks for the review!

You paid $235 too much for the 2011. $899 X 0.85 = $765. Anyone will give you that price.[/quote]


I think you have no clue at all?
The 2011 60th Anniversary BLOND is listed for $1799
Most dealers are asking for $1399 and take off 15% then its $1239
I am sure you can find a dealer that will give you better prices
But I would love some of that stuff you are smoking to get
that guitar for $765?(every dealer huh lol,you really have no clue at allllll,Go back and play your Mexican fenders lol}.........JT
