That silver burst (mercury) Tele Deluxe is cool.

Sculpted neck heel and a new model 'name' for their single coil pickups and the ability to add in the neck pkup to any of the other combinations (cool feature). As for the humbuckers, Tim Shaw has been designing them for Fender for several years now so nothing new there. *He was a Gibson pkup designer in the 80s. The price is same as last years (last two years) model so other than a slight contouring of the neck heel and few new names and tweaks, there's no real difference. It's a friggin' Strat (or Tele or Jag, etc.). If you make it too different, change it up too much - then it isn't what it's supposed to be anymore.
The biggest attraction to a USA made Fender is the "USA" part. You will never lose money on a Fender or Gibson made in the States regardless of the actual quality. Witness the myriad Fenders and Gibsons from the 70s that 1) were mostly huge pieces of shit and 2) garner ridiculous prices. -------------------- - Ken Lasaine

Just don't swap the pickups out for emgs or something which would lower the value even though it's technically an upgrade. Folks that love those like to get them as close to bone stock as possible typically. Keep all original parts, stickers, manuals, receipts, etc and if you think you're gonna ruin the original case - get another case or a gig bag to haul it around in. If you have a 'stock' USA Fender, Gibson or an Ibnaez Japan with the OHSC and all the case candy - you will make money no matter when you sell it. *I've tried a few current American Pro Strats and Teles. They feel pretty good but whatever pickups they're putting in those things - ?, I think they sound like shit. -------------------- - Ken Lasaine
