Someone may want to inform Brent Mason, Keith Richards and others that the modern 6 (5 in Keith's case) saddle design doesn't have it's merits.
I can see why the modern bridge would be an advantage or even necessity for some.
I'd venture a guess that the Am. Std. has probably added more Tele players to the fold, thanks to the bridge design, extra fret, and more "mainstream" neck.
Another note of interest - some years back, a close friend of mine went into the studio armed with quite a few guitars, one of which was an Am. Std. I could easily pick it out amongst all of the other guitars (many of them Fenders), despite all of the differences between the modern design and the old one.
