You could try SX Teles and upgrade them as you go along. Try Rondomusic.com.

I bought this tele from a nice guy named Jeff. It is a nashville type telecaster with a staggered single coil pickup between the neck pickup and the bridge pickup. He swapped the Bridge pickup for a SD one..not sure which model it is though but it sounds super bright...It has a 5-way switch and sounds slightly humbucker-ish ( to me at least heh ) when the switch is set between the middle pickup and the neck pickup eventhough both are single coils hehe.....

the Nashville Tele has a Strat pickup in the mid position
if yours is the original pickup, it's a Tex Mex model.

My customised Squier tele, changed pickguard, with GFS humbucker and vintage bridge single coil. I think it looks and sounds great but recently gotten more into songs which sort of needed the 22 fret. LOL how you guys get around this man.
just bend more...:mrgreen:
My project custom esquire:
Specs:
2-piece ash body
Bareknuckle Pickups Blackguard Flat 50's
Wilkinson Bridge
CTS pots
Fender 3-way switch
Tusq Nut
Gotoh kluson-type tuners
Wiring:
Switch position#1(rear) - No tone control
Switch position#2(mid) - With tone control(capacitor .047mf)
Switch position#3(front) - With a capacitor(capacitor .010mf)
The guitar was built with the help of my friend from the Philippines who knows a good luthier there. My concept was inspired by Fender Custom Shop's La Cabronita and TGP's Southern Ill Guitars. I've always wanted a contoured Esquire but it's just impossible to find one unless you order online and they usually are very expensive. I also requested for as minimal lacquer as possible because I already got used to my Edwards SRV Relic Strat's broken-in neck. The half-guard was also fabricated by him but was actually just meant to be temporary that's why it doesn't have screws yet. It is being held by non-marking double-sided tapes for now.
The "traffic light" 12th fret markers are now covered by 3 blue inlay stickers(will probably have them changed to a suitable block marker when I find a luthier who can do it here). I forgot to cancel that design when the luthier was building the neck.(Yeah, I know, what was I thinking back then). It was suppose to have a theme of a hot rod car(racing stripes, dice knobs, etc.) but I ditched the idea later on but forgot about that 12th fret.
I may still change the rear cover for the electronics as he was actually suppose to make a better version of it but I can't already wait.
Overall, I'm very happy with the result as the luthier managed to get at least 95% of my expectations. : )

Thanks eieio. The Blackguard Flat 50 for me is a well-balanced combination of grit, twang, and fullness. It's a bit darker than a typical tele pickup but just enough to avoid the ice-pick tendency or the overbearingness of the mids in an overwound pickup. It like 50% P90, 50% tele. It sounds huge but clean and still retains that tele snap. Also, it's a very quiet pickup.
Thanks. As of now, it's just being held by a double-sided tape. I plan to buy a tele pickguard and cut it in half so at least the holes will already be there and ask a luthier to just drill the holes. It's only a fabricated pickguard by the luthier who made the guitar.
I just checked again the pic of the La Cabronita, I don't see anything unsual on the headstock. To me, it's just a plain tele headstock. please enlighten me what's unusual about it.: )
