Classic Vibe Telecaster Custom Neck

I figured I would ask this question here. I'm looking to buy a Classic Vibe Custom since I have been wanting a telecaster for a while and I heard that the neck is really glossy so it feels sticky. Is the neck really glossy/sticky when compared to a vintage modified strat?

I can't really answer your question, but I can confirm the classic vibe neck is pretty sticky compared to other instruments. Just can't speak to the vintage modified.

I think I'm just going to try to find one locally and try it out if not then just buy from a big box store and return it if I dont like it

You can always sand the neck down a bit (not sure the exact specifications) to get rid of the sticky gloss. Plus it’ll look a bit worn and played too

I ended up just buying the performer tele instead

After playing both at a store, I opted to not buy the classic vibe telecaster and instead bought the american performer telecaster
