Something I've noticed about my 1996 American Standard and a friend's 2005 American Standard is the bridge pickup on both seem much louder and meatier than any other Teles. Played the 05 one against a 2012 American Standard earlier and there's no comparison in terms of tone.
Wondered if this is something that's well known? Assuming it's down to the pickup or does anyone know if there are any other differences in build with these guitars?
