Okay, so I'm buying a new Tele in about two weeks time. Thinking about going in on a Custom Shop model, because I am a fan of having a few top notch guitars rather than several guitars made on assembly lines in Mexico.
I've been looking a lot on the different models, but can't seem to get hold of which are the better ones. I don't know if they're all the same quality but some go cheaper than others.
The Closet Classic tele's looks interesting, and they are not as pricey (used!) as other models. Are these less good, or do they have lower retail value than other CS models?
What I've found:
NOS (New old stock)
Time Machine
Closet Classic
Reissues
I've seen a lot of these models relic'ed. Does increase the long term value a tiny bit, I think. Not necessary though.
I am looking for a 9,5 fretboard radius. Modern C shape neck. A soft V neck would do too, as I use my thumb a lot.
I've considered a Tom Anderson aswell, here on the emporium. https://www.thegearpage.net/board/index.php?threads/1286448
The Tele is supposed to compliment my Black1 strat.
Examples:
Closet Classic 60s:

Any thoughts on which models that are my best buy? What should I look for?
Thanks! Any help is highly appreciated.
