Thoughts on the USA American Vintage '62RI Tele?

Hey dudes! I have a good line on one of these guitars in 3 tone sunburst. It's an extremely classy guitar. I won't get to try it till Thursday, and I'm just wondering what your thoughts are. I like the idea of the 60's style neck which is a little less chunky than some of the 50s RI necks. I also like the double bound alder body, rosewood fretboard and vintage-style bridge. Anyway, please tell me your experiences with these guitars, and which SD pickups you think would work best with it for Rolling Stones/Tom Petty type rock.

As long as you don't mind the sharp binding edge against your chest, or the 7.5 radius, it's a great guitar. I SO wish that Fender would come out with an Eric Johnson Tele! On the strat, EJ addressed small issues which made the 57 strat better. He usually plays a 60's tele, so I wish like hell they'd make one!!
