Ain't that the truth? According to them the Tele was perfected in '52, the Strat in '56, and the Lester in '59. About the only "innovation" they'll accept is the rosewood fretboard option.

I have a friend with an actual 52 Tele (not a reissue), and I have a 91 Leo-era G&L ASat Leo Fender signature Tele, being made at the time that Mr. Fender died. So pretty much the first and last Fender-designed Telecasters. We've A/Bd them (through a Blackface Princeton Reverb). Our opinion was: a little different, but both really good Teles.
