Personally I think we need more people like James buying vintage instruments. He buys them, then gigs them more than 250 times in a year. None of his gear sits in glass cabinets never to be played again!
I play ‘65 & ‘66 Teles live, I know @fretfinder gigs a vintage Junior or 2, @Trotter & @woody_89 tour with vintage guitars and those are just the first couple off the top of my head.
Buy them and play them on their merits as an instrument. I’ve so far never felt the need to introduce a song and JUST before we count in say “oh & by the way, this Tele is a Firemist Gold refinish and those are repro Klusons.....a 1, 2, 3, 4...”

I have a refinished sonic blue 1964 Jag and it's great - capable of anything from surf to jazz and everything in between. Old jags have a great rock voice with moderate overdrive too - it's surprisingly rich and deep. I've played and owned quite a few modern jags as well, but none have quite had the same sound as the old ones I've played. GREAT necks too.
My '65 Electric XII has a replacement neck from a Shenendoah (the heel is a bit longer, but hardly noticeable when playing) and it's been resprayed (it's black and was originally sunburst, judging by the pickup cavities). The seller pointed out all of this and I got it for £875. I very much doubt that I'd ever have had the opportunity to own one of it wasn't for the mods that had been done on it, none of which affect the sound. I couldn't be happier with it!
Would I have bought the OP's Jag at the price he paid? In a heartbeat!
I said maybe.....
I'm far too busy researching my next delay pedal, the correct power supply and comparing relative patch cable impedance to play anything!
Some people have far too much time on their hands.

Sadly, Pete didn't mention what string gauge he was using.
I thought that Pete held his group together with Rotosound strings!
