What's the difference between these two? Why is the 40th anniversary so much more expensive, because there weren't as many of them made?

Thanks for the help.

The 40th anniversary Teles were made by the Fender Custom Shop and the 50th Anniversary Teles were made by the normal Fender manufacturing line in a limited number.

The original 40th anniversary run was originally a limited run of only 300 guitars, although they were so popular that they made some more afterwards which just had normal Custom Shop serial numbers. Not sure how many extras they made.

The 50th anniversary guitars were a "limited" run of 1250 guitars.
