Routing on Am Std. Ash Teles?

slinehan · December 24th, 2005, 04:05 PM

Hi all,

Could anybody out there with an American Standard Ash-bodied tele answer this question for me: What is the routing like on the neck pickup?

If I'm correct, I think the alder Am Std. tele bodies come with a humbucker route under the guard. Is this correct? If so, do the ash bodies follow the same routing pattern, or do they have the traditional tele neck pickup route?

Thanks very much for the help,
-Sean

I have a 1999 American Ash tele, and the routing for the neck pickup is that of a regular front pickup made like the old days. Hope this is helpful.

Supposed to be early 2000 something, it's definately Solid Ash..and Heavy...but has std. route

I have a 2000 American Standard with an Ash body, and it has the humbucker route.

Except offcourse vintage style guitars!
I guess the early 2000 photo is old stock body.
Also USA Deluxe share the same humbucker routings as the standard (same CNC program?)

Thanks all!

I'm a fan of neck-buckers and was wondering if those Am Std Ash teles already had the route. Sounds like all post-2000 models will!
