I can't put it down the skin is falling off my fingers but I dont care I can't stop looking at it either I just can't say enough about this guitar I tried American series Teles, Thin line teles and they just didn't come close I am totally converted .Try one if you can.

Well I too have the American ash in honey blond finish but I have the white pickguard on mine. I too never liked maple fretboards but after having this guitar I will never go back to rosewood for telecasters. I however never want to buy another telecaster. This one is so good it is my last.
