Which is the better guitar? .. Fender Classic Series 50s Tele or Fender Blackout Tele

I own a Classic '50's. Within a very short period of time, it's become my favorite guitar, and I also own an American Deluxe Ash.

 

I modded mine slightly (noiseless Bill Lawrence pickups, no-load tone pot and a 4-way). I had to go noiseless due to the dodgy wiring in most of the places I play, but I was very happy with the way that it sounded bone-stock.

 

The only modification that it really needs (as is true with many Fenders) is a decent input jack...the stock one is prone to come loose and fail. I went with a domed Electrosocket with a Switchcraft jack. They screw into the Electrosocket, and are near-impossible to break.

 

As a workhorse guitar, I'd recommend them to anyone. Here's some clips of it that I made when it was bone-stock, messing with some Rolling Stones riffs:

They're pretty, too. ;)
