Franklin Guitar Works has the Fender Aerodyne Special Telecaster Electric Guitar in Hot Rod Burst on Reverb for $649 with free shipping.
First of all: these will be sold as USED, even though FGW indicates they are mint and in their factory boxes. Because of this, there will be no factory warranty. This is how Fender disposes of excess inventory.
The Aerodynes are Made in Japan. The necks on the ones I've tried are fantastic. They also have the flatter 12" radius (as on the Nashville Telecaster) rather than the more common 9.5" radius.
Of particular note, the pickups are a bit different than a traditional Tele, being far less bright and in-your-face. If you want 100% twangy Telecaster, this won't be the guitar for you. Nonetheless, the ones I've seen are extremely well made and finished and feel and sound great, even if that sound isn't quite traditional.

I bet that grey one ages really well.

It's funny, I'm not all that particular about colors so long as they're not gaudy. I mean, I don't care for tobacco burst versus an iced tea or cherry burst, but even the tobacco burst looks good enough. Solid black has its appeal. White is really dull. But they all work.
Sparkle and chameleon finishes are overdone, but I can understand why some like them.
As for the colors on the Aerodynes, I was surprised by how much I liked a color as simple as a glossy gray. Beautifully understated, and accented by both the painted headstock and the body binding. The yellowish tint of that gorgeous satin neck REALLY worked. I didn't buy that guitar, but thinking about it now, I should consider making that happen. It was the first guitar I've handled in a while that MOVED me.
(For the record, I'm a lousy player. But I have a couple of guitars that just "clicked" with me. One of them was the Blueridge BR-43, their entry level 000 size guitar. It just sang. I have a Taylor 314 that's nicer in most every way, but I prefer playing the Blueridge. Go figure.)

I have the gray Aerodyne HSS Strat and there's something special about it. I haven't been playing it as much after having picked up a Godin HSS, but when I do enjoy playing it a lot. In fact, I'll probably take it out now that I've mentioned it hahaha
