I heard the same thing Nevin, besides agreeing with your advice.

You might want to check out the 59 thinskins at Wildwood and Daves guitar.They have similar specs.I just bought one and it is similar except the Thinskin has a "modified SRV neck"6105 frets,clay dots and the pickups arent hum cancelling,which I think add to a bit fuller tone IMO.It also has a slab fretboard.

I have both the '59 and '62 HR,the 6105 frets on the '59 takes some getting used to but you can bend like crazy...the neck is a little fuller than the '62 HR also.
I would hate to see the '62 HR discontinued,it's a great guitar.

I just picked up a 62 HR because of the great reviews and the rumors of it being discontinued. I'm glad I jumped on one from Sweetwater when I did - great guitar. Why would Fender discontinue the HR? Not enough sales?

62's are nice, but I have to go with the fellas who are recommending the 59. I've actually played a real nice all original 1959 strat about 8 years ago. It was so sweet. It was only $15k. Alot of money, but they are twice that now. Anyway...the 59 neck was nicer than the early 60's, and it just felt right.

'59 strat? Wow. I like the neck profile on those but, I'm a sucker for rosewood!

The 59 strat is rosewood.You can go to Wildwood Guitars online and check them out .Mine is an ash body with white blonde and a rosewood neck.Complete with 50s custom shop pickups.It has a thinskin finish.Great guitar and they are the same price as the other vintage reissues.I have tried the 62 and 57 reissues and they are descent ,but I much prefer my 59.

I must be thinking of '57 models. '59 must be right up my ally then!

And it has 6105s instead of vintage frets.I have gotten to really like the 6105s alot.
