Unlike Fuzzy, I don't mind the modern innovations like hte headstock end trussrod adjustment or the different string trees. I like to take MIM Standard Teles and modify them with ashtray bridges and different pickups to get that classic sound with the modern innovations.

I have a MIM tele, I may try that with mine to see if I can notice any difference.
