Nice score, very sleek model! I know Teles catch a lot of hell but the truth is: they are workhorses and extremely versatile. Something beautiful in simplicity and that's where that shines.
I seen where you were debating a Dirty Fingers humbucker. I did the following on mine, but already had a JB Jr. in the bridge. But if you don't want to any body rerouting or even pickup swapping, Teles have a cool compromise: you can change out the switch to a 4 way. Really easy job, but what it does is it will use your bridge pickup in position 1, both in parallel( usual) in position 2, neck in position 3 but in position 4 it uses both in series and what that does, is it turns both into a humbucker. It drops a ton of power and OOMPF to it and doesn't cost hardly a thing. Just food for thought!
