I just got a new 2011 American Standard last month and it looks like a gem to me, but I don't have much depth in this area. The little girl sings and the beauty of it is how it was mass produced and the price was great. I love the way the frets and fingerboard sparkle. I guess that is boring for some folks but I'm so inspired now with this baby. I guess you get jaded after enough axes and want something fancy, but I wouldn't pay someone to trash a guitar before I bought it. I can do that myself.
I got to compare it to a 2012 model which had yellowed plastic and I didn't dig it. It looked like someone left it in the sun for a few years. And it had fat 50s pickups which sounded too vintage and weak to me compared to the awesome alcino Vs. But everyone is different and I didn't want a really vintage sound.
