This is a forum made up of mostly workin' class stiffs.
We usually just can't afford the extra green on an American Standard, and when it comes to bolt-on Ford style assembly line guitars, a MIM does most of us just fine.
For us non-home jammer, semi-pros - we usually save up extra for a reissue instead of an AM Std.
Great guitars, I think its just economics perhaps. IDK, that's just my impression - which has been known to be extremely "off." Hey, I aint the shiniest tool in the shed.
For me personally, I've got too many MIMs and Partscaster Teles and Esquires... plus I spend all of my real dough on Gibsons.
