The Jimmy Bryant, if they had it in MIM series, would be for me. ...But not at the price I'm guessing these'll go for. Also, as I'm always looking for a vintage-modern compromise, these look nice: Ash American (modern neck and bridge otherwise '52 specs) and Highway One Texas Tele. These two models give me the feeling Fender hasn't lost the plot completely... :D

The Bigsby-less John 5 sans the head stock (which of course might be just the feature that attracts people...) looks like the Peavey Gnr EXP to me: www.peavey.com/products/s...A2&tcode=8
