I'm continually drawn to Teles cause of how good they look but I just don't like the sound.
Same with Gibson Thunderbird, though I seem to be more accepting of not actually wanting one of those despite the look.

Doesn’t take away the (childish) sadness that the Sixty Six ticks so many boxes of what I like in a guitar and I really REALLY wanted to love it.
Still, at least I got the opportunity to find out. Have to be grateful for that
If you've got the opportunity to return the Fender before that happens, take it.
Ironically I recently acquired a quite similar Rickenbacker completely by accident - in many ways I shouldn't have even wanted it, it's so knackered and hacked about... but it's just RIGHT. And although it's also a genuine vintage guitar - the same age as me, too - it cost no more than I got for the 'wrong' one, so it all worked out oddly well in the end.

* This may not be wholly objective disinterested advice.
The idea appeals on paper, mock up prototype or in CAD rendering. We can project our fantasies onto the design for how it will sound, feel and look. The designs may not live up to expectations.
I wouldn't even play one for 40+ years.

I have brought something a little more foolish home to take it's place and so far, it seems like a very good choice.
