And yes, the body finish is THIN. Few dings in mine now.

The photgapher should have watermarked it - I've seen it being used all over the internet now!
I really like the whole concept of the vintage series they really are the most vintage correct post Leo Fenders yet, but I was so disappointed by the ones I tried. The finish although thin showed so little of the grain on the ash bodied guitars and it was clear from the off that Fender had messed up as they were flaking off in transit from the U.S. A Fender dealer told me he'd never seen so much B stock with them as a result. I did however see a couple that had been taken and refinished from scratch and they were much better. Chad Underwood did a run of them for a US dealer too.

Both have really nice necks - I got both second hand, you can pick up some good deals once you are prepared to watch and wait for one at the right price.

I found the majority of cs guitars were better than the vintage ones but some of them were excellent. While I liked the idea of the vintage correct 7.25 rad board with tiny frets. In reality I just preferred the more modern 9.5 rad that most of the cs guitars had.
A guitar that really stood out though was the Eric Johnson strat I tried. It was the 56' (or is it 57') 2 tone burst, maple board model that I played. So maybe if you can find one of those it would be worth a shot. That's if you don't mind a 12' rad neck.
I've said it in other threads in the past, but it's my opinion that you can find great ones in any of the lines - including the Mexican ones. I don't own a Tele at the moment, but I've owned 3 in the past. If had the option of having any of the 3 back, it would be the Mexican made Baja not the Custom Shop 52 heavy relic. I've played another Baja that was worse than my brother-in-law's Squier though.
You do need to try the individual guitar.
