If you scrounge you might still find one of these blowout deals way up market. If you don't like the pups in the MIM Std. ( I do ) I would not encourage you to buy one.

i can't express this enough myself. boris is right to the point and right in so many ways. this year i bought a MIM 50's classic tele with a chip in the finish for $399, and an esquire for $360 again for a chip in the finish. personally, i couldn'd give a crap about the chips cause they are incredible guitars. if my mother was buying them for me..... well, she knows what i like. she plays too!
