I recently purchased an American Deluxe Telecaster in cherry burst with a maple neck and and happy to say I am pleased with every aspect of the guitar. The fit, finish and playability are excellent and I am very happy with the range of sounds available from the Samarium Cobalt/ S-1 combination. I don't forsee ever changing the configuration but my question is does the American deluxe body have a swimming pool rout that would allow for the addition of a humbucker at the neck position? I haven't had the guts to remove the pickguard for fear of messing up what right now is a perfectly set up guitar! Thanks!

Depends on the year. The older ones don't but the 2008 models seem to be routed to fit one. Might be only sized for a wide-range or mini humbucker tho. here's an ebay ad where you can see the rout on a 2008 model http://cgi.ebay.com/2008-American-Fender-Telecaster-DELUXE-Tele-BODY-USA_W0QQitemZ200232380372QQihZ010QQcategoryZ41406QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

Thanks for the link,Terapotomus, that's great. I'm pretty sure mine's an '08 - I'll have to investigate further
