Deal Details
There's a HUGE debate going on in the lower end Fender guitars. Some say classic vibe is best, while many (including me) say the 40th anniversary line is the better playing guitar.
SO...
squeaky grippy classic vibe neck, vs smooth as a baby's bottom 40th anniv neck...
Chinese classic vibe vs Indonesian 40th...
classic vibe gives you a beautiful classic finish, whereas the 40th anniversary guitars are themselves a modern classic...
There's probably no wrong answer here boys. Get em while they're still hot!

have more colors too.
Yes these have smooth neck. Play easy and fast
Thanks for the other listings, more color is always good
There is no huge debate. First off, the 40th Anniversary are essentially Classic Vibes with the exception of neck and body finish, which varies between the inferior satin finish of the "vintage" models and the slick glossy finish on the Gold Editions that has long been favored on Classic Vibes. It's no surprise that these crappy "vintage" models with their unique and awful finish are the ones that have to be closed out and the last of the 40th anniversary models, which haven't been manufactured in 8 months, to sell.
But neither of these can compare with the Contemporary models which feature 22 frets, superior bridges and modern features. Only fools who seriously believe 1960 was the high mark for guitar technology want mere Classic Vibe or 40th Anniversary models when more playable and better engineered Squier models exist.
And where has the OP been? These have been at $299 for months with Amazon selling them recently for $284.
my experience on the classic vive teles is that they got a heavy coat of "vintage stain in 5 minutes" which the factories that make these always keep . also , the coating on the neck is so thick, I once chipped a big gouge out of my tele headstock, only to to see that what got chipped was that thick finish coating cv, the actual wood was untouched

these 40th anniv guitars are just the current release of used to be called "deluxe squier" line. that entire line was on the market even before the "classic vibe" series of squiers. Of course it doesn't matter how nice and fast the neck plays if you're just gonna mount it as a decoration on the wall, but any serious guitarist that tried them both side by side would choose the deluxe/40th anniv squiers

I'm also of the mind that there's absolutely nothing wrong with 6-screw trems or fixed bridges (I prefer individually adjustable saddles in the latter, though). PRS uses them just fine in their top-tier models and plenty people play them. So do a host of other manufacturers. I just saw a new-ish band playing Les Pauls the core features of which have changed little since the 60s. Plenty of current musicians, famous musicians, play on "vintage-style" guitars. Guitar technology doesn't need to change all that much for the core functions.
{cough} and girls...
And just to stay on-topic. I have both a Deluxe Strat and CV Tele. The Strat probably edges it but the Tele is a great guitar
Else, the strat is just the superior design. Ergonomically vastly superior. Better neck pickup tones, and the bridge pickup is more well rounded. You can pry my 1961 AVRII Strat from my cold, dead hands
