Great deal on a vintage ii. The QC from fender on these is absolutely atrocious though on these. I absolutely love my AVII jazzmaster nonetheless. Just worth saying buyer beware on these.

Keep in mind you always hear about the bad ones in reviews. Most people that get good ones, do so silently. My AV2 Strat is the best guitar I've ever owned. But Fender even got the headstock wrong on the initial run of AV2 Jazzmasters.

Yeah. I've seen these returned with improperly molded pickguards, bridges that were installed wrong, glue all over the fretboard, frets improperly installed, frets not actually shaped right. If you get a good one, it is fantastic, but if you get a bad one you'll know it and pro audio star is notorious for returns being difficult. On my jazzmaster, I had to have Fender warranty replace two of them within the first 30 days. Even then the trem arm still doesn't fit properly as they were cut too long at the factory on this line.

I never understood why would anyone want a vintage reissue of a 1970s guitar.

First, serious collectors don't even consider 1970s period to be vintage. Cutoff for vintage is late 1960s. You can see the prices reflect this - anything 1970 and before is crazy price and becomes significantly cheaper after 1970.

Second, instead of paying $2400 for a remake of 1970s guitar one can get a real 1970s instrument for a bout the same price.

I get it when reissues of 1950s and 1960s guitars are offered, as originals are prohibitively expensive for most buyers, but reissues of 1970s guitars are kind of silly.

Vintage is, by definition, an item that is greater than 20 years old. So, yes, a 70's guitar is vintage. Plenty of great players played 70s guitars and still do. The biggest knock on that decade is that quality was often subpar. So, if you love the tone of a tele deluxe, a reissue with today's quality standards might be a good match.

I understand what you are saying, yet for the same price most buyers would choose a reissue of 1950s or 1960s classics over 1970s design.
