/snip Please excuse the very poor pics Thanks for not being naked in the neck plate reflection. 
Did you do an A/B comparison when you got yours vs a 'standard'? To date I have no 'single coil' sound in my rack other than a single, single coil Gibson Melody Maker. Been pondering adding a Strat or a Tele and keeping it essentially stock. Any thoughts on 'American Standard' vs 'American Deluxe'?... |

To me it was worth the price difference but I bought mine when they were much cheaper than they are now. |

I played a few standards both american and mim. I liked the pups and the switching better on the deluxe with the HSS configuration. It is the most versatile electric guitarI have ever owned.

Found several 'Standards' in the 650 and up range. Deluxes starting around 850$. Only thing I'm set on currently is Maple fingerboard and SSS p/ups... I have rosewood and humbuckers covered already elsewhere.

I have a 2006 deluxe and I also built a partscaster in deluxe configuration with N3 pickups. That was a complicated wiring job!
I also have a Tele Deluxe that rock too! |

There is nothing wrong with a new one but you can save hundreds of dollars buying a used USA Deluxe and there are a LOT of used American Fenders out there that have hardly been played. It's a buyers market. If it were me. I'd go for one of the ash-bodied Deluxes with a transparent finish, they are beautiful guitars. |
