| Len, are you going to "modify" your new Tele for "tone and playability" as you did that Rickenbacker? |

Why have to worry about having to play your B6 or your tele
have the best of both worlds. This was made in 2001 and I sacrificed a 52 SD metal bodied Ricky for the pickup with a soapbar in the neck, it ticks all the boxes. I am due to get another soon with a lollar horseshoe at the bridge and a lipstick at the neck now there is a dilemma, which one to play.

This a re-birth of a pretty old post.
I recently got a “Franken-tele” from a guy in southern california that gets parts from Corona, CA, and Ensenada. Strat neck on a
 tele body, and sacrilege of sacrileges, two humbuckers.
It’s kind of like Clapton’s Blind Faith franken-tele…..but a heck of a lot cheaper. Fun guitar.

| How would you Telecaster afficianados rate FMIC's original incarnation of their "American Standard" series of Telecasters (circa 1988 - 2000) among the multitude of Tele models and variations that have been marketed since the early 1950s? |

When choosing a Tele today, it kinda requires firsts knowing what you like, I'm talking about the neck, the shape and the fret heights. There are too many variables these days. Its not like it was way back when.
For me its a 7.25 radius, slick C Neck and medium Jumbo frets which are approx .043 in height, nut width 1.65. This is typical of an early 52 RI's . Its kinda like a math game, find the one you like, pull out the caliper !
One thing is for certain, all Telecasters are not equal, doesn't matter if they are USA, MIJ, CIC or MIM ! IF you have one custom made they are gonna ask you about this stuff !
IF someone says to you, oh xxx has a great neck, ask them about the details , because in your hands it matters especially if you are seeking the holy grail for you !
Pickups and electronics can be changed, yes they are important but not like the neck. -
Good luck
