Fender has continuously produced a standard American Telecaster since the late 1980s, but there are three distinct models within the series. The first series was called the "American Standard Telecaster" and produced between 1988 and 2000. At the Summer 2000 NAMM show, Fender introduced the new "American Series" that was announced as an evolution of the American Series. Changes included a sharper body radius like that of a 1952 Telecaster and non-veneered body, American Deluxe neck shape with rolled edges, six-saddle STB bridge, and three-ply parchment/black/parchment pickguard. At the Winter 2008 NAMM show, Fender introduced the third round of the American Telecaster, and the name reverted back to the old one as the "American Standard Telecaster." Changes include a new bridge with bent steel saddles, a new tinted neck treatment, thinner finish undercoat, and all guitars come with an SKB molded case. In spring, 2012, Fender introduced the fourth version of the American Standard Telecaster with the major change being the introduction of Custom Shop pickups.
