One of the major reasons I bought my American Tele is the fact that the pickups are dead quiet. No 60 cycle hum. I might have bought a Highway One, but it had noisy pickups. I also didn't like the hotter sound of the Highway One nor the duller sound of the noisless pickups on the American Deluxe.

The intonation issue was also important to me. The six saddle bridge intonates perfectly. I'm glad I don't have to fool with the three saddle bridge. I can hear the difference.
