I like mixing a warm neck sound with a little bite from a neck pickup. I know G&L makes p-90 equipped teles. *Looks* Well lookee here! The Classic Bluesboy 90 is just what I was thinking of! http://www.glguitars.com/instruments...y-90/index.asp
Looks a lot like the CVC, and I was thinking a black pickguard too. Maybe setting up a quick connect and finding a traditional tele pickup to put into the stock mint guard.

Here is a vid, with not great recording.
They don't show the middle position I don't think. Anyway, I think it will work. Maybe I can find a G&L ASAT 90 somewhere. Someone else on my other forum suggested a GFS Alnico p90. Might be worth a shot.
The old neck pickup was pretty close to the neck single in my strat, which is also Alnico V. So I am not concerned about losing that neck sound on this guitar.
