That is the way to "Tele" imo. Sounds very similar spec to the black one I posted in your other thread- 52 spec. Thin nitro, ash body, monster neck. Cant tell in your pics, I assume it the 50s spec ashtray bridge with raised edges? Key to the Tele (imo).

Unsolicited advice on these- bridge pup height is very important.

Nice one.
