tele's anyone

I just bought a 60's reissue Tele just wondered what anyone thought about these compared to standard Tele's?

I've been lusting for a US '52 reissue for the past 10 years or so. In my opinion, the vintage-style 3-saddle bridge is what helps give that authentic Tele twaang! The modern 6 saddles like whats on the American Standard type models just doesn't have enough twang. I know the '52 Reissues, the pickups are wired different than a normal tele, don't know if its the same for the '62s or not. some day i'm gonna have the cash & i'm going to find a '52 reissue for a good deal...

I played the '52 in the store but prefered the feel of the '62 and '72 but the pups on the '52 were pretty ballsy

If intonation becomes an issue, i know that the make compensated saddles for the 3 saddle bridges, you can get better intonation with sacrificing that tel twaaang...
