I have little knowledge about the Classic Series 50’s Telecaster, but if I understand correctly it’s considered more of a nod to the past, instead of a Reissue model. I might check out a 2006 sunburst Made in Mexico.

I understand this one has Cts pots, no vintage cloth wiring and according to the catalog link below on page 74 it lists Alnico pickups, Ash body, vintage style bridge. However no mention if poly or nitro neck or body.

Anyone give me any more insight on how this guitar stacks up against a reissue Telecaster?

Are the stock pickups worthy or are more preferable upgrades you’d suggest? I’d like something to hit the classic Tele twang, but be useful with overdrive as well.

I have one in transparent white, it's a great guitar, the main thing that you notice when you pick it up is that it's a bit narrower at the nut than I'm used to with my other Fenders.

The wood grain dosn't show in this image, but you can really see the ash through the paint and I think it's poly.

I really like that transparent white! Apparently the 2006 weighs in at a tad under 8lbs and has a fat C neck. If I get it I want it to cover the classic Telecaster tone wise unlike my other Teles.

My ‘72 Thinline Reissue has about as thick as a neck profile for my personal taste. Will be interesting to try the 2006.
