With a Tele you end up compromising your amp EQ so it'll work on both pickups, but with an Esquire not only do you tweak everything to work with your only pickup, but you really get into your volume and tone knobs and how versatile they can be.

I've got a Jooky Esquire (Old no7 one) with a Mojo pickup and wiring loom. Great sounds from position 1 and 2, but looking to change the Position 3 to an eldred "cocked wah" mod as I can't get a sound I like from that setting!
If I can work out how, I'll post a photo!!!
I must be doing it wrong then! I've always found that I need so much treble from the amp for the neck pickup that the bridge pickup becomes too harsh, which is why I have Strat neck pickups in both my Teles.
I'm using a completely different range of amps these days though, maybe I'll chuck a stock neck pickup back in one of them and try again...

Cheers all. Both my Tele neck pickups are outstanding- one BK Boss and one Mojo Born To Run. The BKP Brown Sugar is also wonderful.
I think I'll keep the Tele as-is for now. I'm just always looking at ways to make it different from the #1 Tele but this doesn't feel the right option for me. A rosewood board and non-Tele neck pickup would be more appropriate I think, since it's already routed for a bucker at the neck.
I little known fact is that Fender patented an under-pickguard pickup for the ill fated Marauder guitar in the sixties. It used a little known magnet proximity effect to 'jump' the field far enough for decent output while keeping string pull within reasonable bounds.
