I've seen that Fender in currently advertising the American Standard Stratocaster/Telecaster as a new, improved model. What are the differances between an old telecaster (e.g. one that was made a year before the update) and a new one?
What year did Fender start making the "new" telecaster? Is it greatly improved over the old one, so that you should buy a new telcaster instead of a mint condition used one made only a year or so before the update?
Were straplocks one of the improvements?
Thanks!
