Agreed about the pups, but I still prefer that to dual exposed coil buckers which is what Fender throws on anything where they want to be novel these days. I like Teles a lot and dont actually have one (though I am currently holding on to a repro Broadcaster bridge pup that's burning a hole in my pocket).
I think it looks good though I never liked schemes with colours that almost but not quite match (the blonde with the maple board). Also maple boards in general and block inlays on maple boards even more so, but that is just me, I think, in the entire world.
Throw a dark wood board on there and I'd be sold (aside from the cost)
