What do you people think the American Vintage and Time Machine series?
Is the custom shop version of vintage replicas much better or is the american vintage just as good?

is pepperland off the coast of the salty sea? :oops: :D

i think the stats are a little different for the two with the biggest differences being the time machines have exclusice pickups to the model while all of the production reissues share the same pickups except for the hot-rods and thinskin production guitars. also the time machines are more period correct and built with the original machines and tools that they used in the 50's/60's. apart from that the finishes are more period correct with the relic getting the homoplast undercoat. also they are made by the custom shop team as opposed to the production facility. this is what i understand.. generally i believe the quality to surpass the production facility. say for example a time machine thats not that great would be a great find in a production model, while at the same time it's possible to find a production guitar as good as any time machine if you really go through alot of them and know what your looking for.

i believe in almost any guitar store there are 1-3 stellar examples of fender nomatter what the headstock says. but generally the custom shop instruments are better because of the attention to detail, experience, and time that goes into them and the materials differ slightly. I hope this helps and is just my opinion of course. :?
