I love everything about my 1995 Am Std: tuners, modern neck, 6 saddle bridge, satin finish on the neck, medium jumbo frets, flat fret board, pups, knobs, bridge plate. If I had to custom order a Tele I would ask for those specs.

I'd take my Tele over any other that I've played. If there was a fire I would grab it first over my other guitars.

There's absolutely nothing on it I would change. How can you improve perfection? To me this is what a Tele should be. I picked it out of a wall of Teles, compared it to the others and chose it over the pretty looking but dead sounding sunburst.

I have no nostalgic feelings for any of the vintage specs, they mean nothing to me. I was not alive in 1952. I understand why older guitarists prefer the vintage specs, good for them. Insult my guitar and I get mad...
