recently sold my MiM Tele & a Strat copy cause I never picked them up and then DVM has to flash pics of his new Red Nashville causing me to bend over with intense GAS pain... (My wife will be so pleased) so now I'm contemplating in order of green: SX STL50 > Agile TC630 > Squire > Fender.. My plan is to purchase another plank and replace the pick guard with a 2 pickup Nashville style, GFS pickups, 5-way & push-pull pots. Needs are a maple fretboard and in order of preference: red, white or burst flavored body..
I do like a fairly thin neck which was mainly the reason for never playing the Tele I sold, the tone was killer, the neck was quick with a lot of figure in the wood but thicker than I like....

Any experience with any of these lesser cost varieties (I am pleased so far with my stock SX SST57) or other brands that make a Tele Style you have have had good luck with?
