as for the burgundy story ..
Vintage Fender nerds like myself will recognize this one instantly: one of the coolest finishes Fender ever produced if you ask me. The original run of 1968-69 competition mustangs featured a red/purple burst sprayed on top of the metallic blue basecoat giving them a sweet "purpleburst" look that even carried over to the matching headstock. This purple burst was soon phased out, presumably due to the purple fading easily and QC/cost issues spraying the burst. Curiously, the finish continued to be referred to as "competition burgundy" in Fender catalogs and sales literature until at least 1970, even though the finish was ultimately the same as later '71++ "competition blue" mustangs.

I was a once a full subscriber to the idea that the fender MX guitars were inferior to the fender NA and JP guitars.
that might have held true in the past, but I can say from my own experience that my MX built Jag-Stang is a better crafted instrument than my 98 NA Jag-Stang is, and the MX Jaguar i own is also of decent quality as well. neither probably hold a candle to the NA fenders of the 60s and 70s or the JP fenders of the 90s, but the quality has seen improvements from way back when.
also, you have to compare price points. if a comparable product doesn't exist in NA or JP at remotely close to the same price point, I doubt there is much that can be said.
if you're able to find good quality used competition mustangs built in NA or JP for under this price, I need to know your sources.

just 2.
also, you'd have to heavily modify and rewire the performer to obtain the same tonal options as you get stock from the vintera. and if you want a competition paint job, you're putting in more cash.
I dunno man. I see your point but I think the argument is rather flimsy as a reason to denounce the deal entirely.

We're talking different neck shape, frets, fretboard radius, body carve, wiring, body routing, trem system, pickups.
The American performers are great, but it is about as different a guitar could get while still being a mustang, and that's before you even factor in the custom paint job.
With my small, child like hands, I've struggled playing guitar since I was a teenager. I had no concept of neck board radiuses (my go to was a 9.5") until I stumbled across this magnificent guitar.
The 7.25" neck radius fit me perfectly and played like a dream. I was able to level up my skills ten fold in just a few months.
If reaching between frets has been a struggle for you, I can not overstate how worth trying this guitar is. You won't regret it.
Not to mention is sounds incredible!
