Hey dudes, can you tell me if the SBK case that comes with an American Standard Tele has an indent thingy (where the guitar goes) that's the shape of a Gibson SG as opposed to being exactly the shape of a tele???

Thanks.

(I bought one used and it seems legit except for this factor.

The cutout in a Fender SKB case shouldn't be shaped like an SG but it should be shaped like a Strat - they use the same case for both the Strats and Teles.

Yes, They all look that way now. the big rectangular case with plastic latches, and yes, the cut away resembles the shape of an SG.
I think it's to accommodate various Fender model shapes (universal case).

I got one with my '09 Am Std strat and my '09 Am deluxe ash Tele.
I believe they started using that model case in '06 or '08....that area anyways.

Thanks!! Yeah, looking at the case that came with my Am Stand Strat, I see that now. I can't believe I never noticed that before. I always thought the strat body fit in there perfectly, but there actually room where the bottom horn is. The shape is like a giant SG.

Hmmmm. So I'm pretty sure the Am Stand Tele I picked up from ebay for a sweet price is legit. Thankks.
