            Comments about Fender American Standard Telecaster Electric Guitar with Rosewood Fingerboard:

            I've owned a number of Tele's over the years.
            These retain all of the ingrediants that make Tele's great plus a just a few very special tweaks that take the guitar to the point of perfection. In my opinion and for my needs the current American Standard Tele is the ultimate incarnation of the breed -and- I always get excellent service from Musicians Friend! And I'm very very picky and not always the easiest customer to deal with....but if there is something wrong - they (MF) always make it right.....
            PS ..I never do reviews but I've been doing good buiz with these folks for so many years and this particular fender is such a great instrument - And DEAL- That I felt i should finally leave some long overdue feedback.

            Comments about Fender American Standard Telecaster Electric Guitar with Rosewood Fingerboard:

            I am disappointed with the bridge. I was expecting the smooth bridge that was on my 1989 Tele American Standard Deluxe that did not scratch my hand, but the bridge on the new Tele is not the same. How can I get the smooth bridge like the old guitar. I play with my hand resting on the bridge and the new one is irritating.

                Comments about Fender American Standard Telecaster Electric Guitar with Rosewood Fingerboard:

                More than 30 years ago I was taking guitar lessons in a small NJ town. I used to wait in the local music store for my mother to pick me up from my lesson, and while I was waiting I would look at the Tele that they had hanging near the door. I'd daydream about plunking down a pile of my paper route money in order to have it. I never did commit to the many months of saving and I grew up without the pale yellow Tele, and in fact, did not play guitar for years and years after becoming interested in many other things. My admiration for the guitar never waned though, and when I resumed my interest in playing guitar I FINALLY GOT IT. Candy Cola, with rosewood...and it is beautiful. Very nicely made and the pickups sound gorgeous. I like the neck pickup with the tone rolled off a bit into my Vox, pretty clean. If you are thinking about getting it and you have enough of your paper route nickels saved up, I doubt you will be disappointed when you finally get your Tele.

                Comments about Fender American Standard Telecaster Electric Guitar with Rosewood Fingerboard:

                The new pickup combination produces a wide range of tones, from bell like cleans to classic Tele twang. The Delta tone pot bypasses the tone cap delivering unfiltered sound from the pups to the amp. The satin finished neck and the rolled fingerboard edges make for smooth and effortless moves up and down the scale. Hardware and electronics look and work well, though the tuners feel a little rough. I'll see how they are after the first string change.

                This is a beautifully finished instrument; three piece ash body with a transparent red (crimson) dye and a nitrocellulose gloss lacquer top coat; rosewood fingerboard on maple neck. Personally - I hear NO difference in tone between the maple and rosewood fingerboards- so for me it came down to pure aesthetics. This new Tele has the body contour cut out similar to the Strat and the Tele Deluxe - I think it's a good improvement.

                Out of the box I had to raise the action on the bass side to eliminate some minor fret buzz.

                I also have a '78 classic Blonde/maple, and while the old one gets some "vintage" points, this 2012 is so much better. It's a joy to play, hear, and see. I've traded out several other Tele's too - this one is definitely a keeper.

                I got the Jade with rosewood. The quality is excellent. The sound is everything you could want in a tele. It's hard to put down.

                Let's put it this way, if I would have bought this guitar first, I would own only one instead of six. It's that nice.
