YMMV but my CS Fenders stay with me, other brands don’t.
Those mojo Pickups make it an absolute beast of a thing
I tried an American Original 60s when demoing an amp and I have to say it was a cracker - I'd be very happy with one of those.
Having given it some thought I decided that only a CS would do..
I owe @barnstorm a pint because this beauty was exactly the specification I was looking for;

It is now winging its way to Hertfordshire

I’m glad I held out for the CS even though I thought I’d never find the ‘one’ - I’ll be eternally grateful to @barnstorm who spotted it.
Visually it’s stunning and it plays really nicely - is it a keeper? Only time will tell but I’ve stopped looking so that’s a good sign
The guys @ Bigfoot were great to deal with btw as well.
One last thanks must go to @ICBM who pointed me towards the modern Tele wiring layout - ironically I only completed this work this morning and have spent the rest of the day in Tele heaven.

I have a AO 60's Tele in LPB and its one of the best guitars I have ever played! I have and have had some what I thought were really resonant and alive feeling guitars... Until I got my AO tele which rings like a bell when played acoustically .
I got it as a blind deal on ebay and it was worth every penny!
As for the pick ups.. I love the bridge one but the neck is good but not really my cup of tea, I think I like a twisted tele neck better.
Compared to a custom shop though its kinda a different animal. The custom shop you would be paying for the extra attention to detail that it would get in the factory and of course the badge on the headstock that would help if you ever sold it.

Play's as good as it looks too.
