I can't comment on the 62 Vintage C. I have three guitars with the modern C and it appears that the fretboard radius affects the depth of the neck. My one Tele with a 15.75" radius has a much shallower neck overall than my other Tele with a 9.25" radius fretboard. I've been meaning to take some calipers to measure the depth of the necks at a given fret to compare them but haven't done it yet. I think Ceri recommended this as a way of comparing necks in one thread. I think it would be a valid spec to consider since neck profile isn't the only major ingredient.
