I've been looking for a cheap Tele

A tele so I can spray paint it pink and fuck it up beyond all recognition.
I've been looking at the Squier ones mainly, and I have encountered a major problem...
THEY'RE ALL FUCKING SWEET!
Squier Vintage Modified Telecaster Special
Squier Classic Vibe Telecaster Thinline
Fender Modern Player Telecaster Thinline Deluxe - This one I would not paint pink, it's a beaut.

I just bought one of the vintage modified teles w/ the jazzy pickup and it's amazing.
it's made in Indonesia but it's on par w/ the classic vibe stuff. I went and played all of the classic vibe teles, modern player teles, and, every under $400 tele I could get my hands on and it was MILES above everything else in terms of value. All of the classic vibe stuff has pretty thin necks that I didn't get a long with while the VM was chunkier and felt much better to me. The MP thinline was cool and very much on par w/ the VM but it's $100 more expensive. And the CV thinline was nice but I hate the crazy pale neck.

Thanks for the insight, really helpful
For some reason the big headstock looks mint on the vintage modified with jazzy pickup. I think this is the one I'm most likely to go for, cause that jazzy pickup sounds amazing.

Decision made! I've always wanted a single pickup guitar, so I'm going to go for an Esquire

that's a damn great guitar.
seriously I've traded/played a ton of teles and getting rid of my esquire is probably the biggest regret I have. The neck is really chunky and it has the vintage frets and 7.25" radius. Everything about that guitar is really, really nice.

If you have not already taken the plunge.. I am thinking of selling the blue Esquier (again).

The VV and VM series do have great Teles but I have a butterscotch Affinity Tele that is an absolute killer.
Only thing that may be a drag to some people is the body is thinner but I like it lighter.
