    the square edge just refers to a smaller chamfer radius on the edges of the body. the body itself wouldn't be thinner though.

    now, yes my american tele is my ultimate guitar but bear in mind that i've redone the electronics entirely. the bridge and tuners have been excellent except i've rusting out the saddle height screws with perspiration over the years. and the weight, balance feel etc have been great.

    you can always changes those saddles with graph tech's for 36 bucks. Graphite dosen't rust and you break less strings. You don't have the buzz problem anymore but not being metal helps eliminate the buzz too.

    indeed. good rule. I'm holding off on the Les Paul too even though it really needs them.

    The new Strat will get them. I've already decided.

    It's like the difference between a standard 3 series and a 330Ci Then theres the M3.

    It is a great analogy!
    I use the Honda and Acura example all the time. It is nice to see someone else doing the same. Bravo

    heres a link for you.

    I've seen people talk about these locking tuners in a few other threads, looked at the link, how do they actually work? They look like other tuners, what's so great about them?
