I don't know much about Telecasters, but if that re-issue was made in Japan, grab it with both hands and don't let go!

The best Strat I've ever played was the MIJ '62 RI that I bought new in 1986. I know people who work in music stores who do everything they can to make sure that if someone comes in with a MIJ Fender to trade, that axe gets added to the inventory.
