First of all, welcome to the best forum on the internet!

The 2008 classic 50's is the only good deal in the list in my opinion. It's not a super bargain either. Those 50s and 60s classics are more enjoyable to me personally than the american standards. I like the vintage jangely lower output pickups myself. The Jimmie Vaughan's are supposed to be really nice guitars for the money. They can be had for half the price of the one you're looking at on ebay. You will have to be a little patient to get one that cheap though.

That american standard would have sold for less new than they are asking now. It's the fender price hikes that are bringing the used prices up. It's just annoying to me to pay more for a guitar than it was purchased for new when it has no added collectablilty. The squier classic vibe is supposed to be the absolute best guitar for the price these days. Don't pay attention to the name on the headstock or where it's made as much as how much you like it.
