I need a Sloan option. I own both and I think they both sound about the same. (Blasphemous I know...)

The original has more mojo.

For me it's all about the neck. When it came to my vintage one vs reissue there was no competition. The reissues are fine, but feel ordinary and cheaper than a good vintage one. Because of this my reissue basically never got played so I ended up selling it.

However, you do get some vintage necks that aren't so good. To me the carve of the reissue necks is very similar to the vintage ones I don't like. Middle of the road average Fender style.

My Mullet-stang has an Original 1969 Mustang neck that I refinish in nitro and it's heaven to play. Vintage doesn't guarantee better for all the reasons you said when it comes to the neck. If I don't get along with a guitar neck, I will either change it or move the guitar along.

The Mustang reissue sounds great, but the Vintage guitar here sounds much fuller and smoother with more of a broader spectrum to the sound. The Reissue is very direct and cutting. Either would be a great guitar to own.

Reissues are cheaper. And I don't feel bad changing things on the reissues.
