Yup, after nearly 40 years of playing, I pulled the trigger and bought this beauty. Very different to any guitar I had in the past .. but lovely in many aspects.
I think its an American Standard Tele, am I right?
Also it has Van Zandt pickups - 4 positions (and endless sustain :lol: :lol: )

Enjoy

.. and it goes perfectly with my Pro (...)

Nice looking Tele; it's probably a Highway 1 though and not an American Standard based on the 70s-style headstock decal and the vintage-style bridge. Great guitar with those updates to the electronics (Van Zandts and 4-way switch).

I don't remember the Highway One coming with that type of string tree. I remember the more modern fender string tree on those:

Having said that, it definitely looks like a nitro back body which points to Highway One, and its a great looking tele with Van Zandt pickups so who freaking cares what type of tele it is, does it sound awesome?

Thank you guys, it has small 60th anniversary sticker at the back of the headstock.

Plays nicely and has very nice sustain. Again I'm not sure if its coming from the Van Zandt pickups or the Tele is so good in the sustain department. :lol: :shock:

Combination of both probably. Enjoy it!

And I mimic the same response too. Love the dark fret board!
