Hwy 1 Texas Tel
I have a 2004 Texas Tele. I can tell you that the stock pickups DO suck. They were Fender Tex Mex. I replaced those with Samrium Cobalt Noiseless and also replaced the bridge with an All Parts 6 saddle one(Ikept torque ing my palm on the ash tray stock one) and I have to say that this Tele will now dominate any Tele out there, period. Everytime I've played a show with it I have purchase offers afterwards, everytime.
I love the nitro finish cause it really allows the instrument to breathe and it also wears nicely.
And I absolutely love the 1 piece 52 maple neck on this thing.
Not for metal but killer for all else.
It's all personal though.

I have a new "used" Texas Tele from 2003 and I had installed Nocaster pickups because the stock TexMex pups are too hot for a traditional Tele tone. My luthier claims the neck is not a 12" radius or a 9.5" either. Says it is closer 9.5 though. This guitar now sounds great with the nocaster pups.
