More Teles, even 52s, have three piece bodies than don't. This includes many old, revered ones. Fender has always been happy to amalgamate bits of lumber. Sometimes six or seven bits was common.
Many people reckon as long as the bridge and neck aren't on a seam it shouldn't make no never mind. IMO it don't matter anyway - I have a centre-seam partscaster that bisects both that is extremely resonant.

That's the only bit that makes any real difference IMO.
