What are the full specs of the 1991 US Teles? I know they had the larger frets and 9.5" radius, plus the headstock adjust truss rod and thick plate style bridge.

Is this the same US bridge pattern that is still in use and won't interchange with the vintage bridge? They weren't the Bi-flex truss rod at that time, were they? Are the pickups ceramic or alnico, baseplate on the bridge pup, and are they bathtub routed?

Thanks.

Same Modern Bridge design (3) screw that doesn't interchange w/ the Vintage Ashtray style...Neck as you say with 22 frets...it does have the Bi-flex truss rod...Alnico Pups w/o baseplate...TBX Tone circuit...Micro Tilt neck...were called American Standard till 99 I think, then some changes in 2000, and called American Series.

Thanks.
Were they bathtub routed for a neck humbucker or was that just the MIM guitars and California series?
