Hmm. Having played neither I'm not sure if I'm as qualified to comment as others, but how about this:
Re-issue the Vintage/First re-issue with the following changes:
Wider frets
Wax-potted HB-1s (just because I heard mention that the HB-1s could be microphonic in some situations)
Tail-stop moved closer, like later 70s, or maybe in a compromise position.
Tail-stop redesigned so cosmetic appearance remains the same, but high strings exit higher than then the bass strings. This should make the string angle behind the bridge more uniform.
Compensated nut.
Choice of roller/non-roller bridge.
Chesterfield logo with the lines. (I just think it looks sexier)
3 position switch for phase/coil tap.
Pick-ups wired for fully independent volume control (assuming that like most other guitars, they are not already wired that way)
Colour options: White, black, cherry, dark green, natural, natural burst.
Pickguard: clear
Carved option: Acorns and leaves, skulls and swords.
Inlays: Mother of pearl with abalone shell triangle.
And for the over-the-top Rolls-Royce version, a customised Axcent Electronics self-tuning bridge.
