But, nice guitar and good price!
As others have speculated, Fender probably used St. Vincent's heavily modified repainted green Lead II as inspiration for the reissue. Would've been cool if Fender included some of those wild electronics to offset the blandness of the reissue. But, I guess for $550 a cool paint job is a good start for a project guitar.
Vintage lead ii's are great modding platforms. In a manufacturing quirk, the bridge pickup is routed for a humbucker but were delivered with two single coils, so there's a lot you can do with it.
