My trading feedback - I'm a good egg
I have had a number of tele's over the years and am fairly sure that amongst all the models there is one that will suit.
I prefer a smaller body but love the sound. I managed to find a vintage Ovation Viper that does it for me. Sounds and feels great, roll back the volume and the tone pot a little and to my ears there's very little difference between it the 52 AVRI that I used to own.
Each to their own I guess. I prefer the Viper as it's a little more individual and looks, plays and sounds great.

I agree with most of the above, if it doesn't do 'it' for you, let it go and try and find one that does.
I've owned at least a dozen Teles over the years, most have come and gone within a year (including a couple of very nice 52RI's), the main one has been around for the last seven/eight years and is my number one. Really can't see me ever selling this (52RI) as it has everything I need - stays in tune, sounds great, plays like a dream and is super light and resonant. I've had 3 other come and go while I've owned this one. Currently have a Pink Paisley as main backup which I liked a lot when I bought it and I'm loving more everyday.
I was lucky enough to sell an expensive (expensive to me, nothing silly) guitar a while ago which gave me, for the first time in my life, a bit of money to 'play' with. Bought a couple of less expensive guitars because I could, one has stayed, the other went because it didn't gel. Counted up and I've bought and sold 12 guitars in the 2 years since and still have a few to release as they just aren't getting the play time. I only own three guitars which have been with me longer than the last five years and all three get picked up and enjoyed regularly.
If it doesn't fire you up, let it go.
