I've got both the black one and the pink one listed on eBay. The Black MIM FSR guitar is a far superior in every way. The latest MIJ reissue is not very good imo, feels very cheap, needs new pick ups and mine required a thorough setup.
I'd steer well clear tbh.
I did look at the Black Paisley models when they came out, but passed on them. Being based on the then Mexican Standard they feel very modern (which could be good or bad depending on how you like your Tele's), but the body is unchanged from a Mexican Standard, including all the routing - so no chance at all of putting a transparent pickguard on one. Don't get me wrong, a Mexican Standard can be a great guitar, but I have certain expectations when it comes to Paisleys. Had Fender done things right, at least with regard to the body (i.e. routed and drilled late 60's style), I might have had one.
Oh, and don't look for Paisleys on TheStratosphere. They have Allparts Black Paisley Strat and Tele bodies for sale, but with shipping and duties they are extortionate - but I still want one!
