There simply aren't any "improvements" that would motivate me to even play one.
Unless someone can show me where Fender details what they have done to change the neck other than the finish, I have to assume it's the exact same neck with a (more?) polished fretboard. If that's an improvement, then enjoy.

Wow! What a negative response!
I think that changing the feel of a neck of a guitar is VERY likely to affect playability isn't it?
Hmm... have you actually played one?
All I can say is sometimes the little things can make big differences - and this appears to be the case with the new American Standard.
Go try one today - you might get a pleasant surprise...
