Not sure why they would want to replace the standard series with them though.
American Standard/Deluxe - American Professional/Elite
AVRI - American Original.

Apparently Fender have already removed the Standard range from their US website in preparation. They were dropping colours from the site as they sold out (the US site sells direct to the public) which is what tipped some sleuth types off.
I can't remember where I read it but the logo is changing to spaghetti-style, Strats go to 2 point trem, possibly 22 fret necks across the board (the war on vintage spec marches on) and some finish/colour changes too.

It would look better if it was mounted on a chrome plate like Marr Jag, otherwise id have gone for the Gibson type.
Agreed. Poor design choices.
I'm also bemused by Fender changing all their series names.

So basically, the new Standard Series Mexican Tele.
22 frets, bent steel saddles, spaghetti logo - these actually look very similar to the old American Standard range (replaced by the American Professional).
It';s funny that these still have vintage spec bridge spacing/hole locations but modern bridges that a lot of players swap out for a vintage style bridge and the new American Professional has modern spec bridge spacing/hole locations but a vintage style bridge (which imo doesn't work very well due to the closer string through holes). They dropped their most vintage accurate range for a modern/vintage hybrid and are mixing vintage spec and modern parts on their base models (US and Mexican).
Fender seems to have a bit of an identity problem at the moment.
