Telecaster Guitar Forum - View Single Post - WANTED: Feels like Fender, Sounds like Gibson

To me a Tele that will sound like an LP will likely have to have 2 HB'ers, 24.75 scale and a TOM type bridge and tailpiece.

There are a couple of models like the ones listed above, but you might try more LP's. There's a few varieties of neck profiles, weights and materials. You might find one more like what you're looking for.

FWIW, I don't think the '72 Deluxe Telecaster sounds anything at all like a Les Paul. You'd get closer with that Squier model or the American Series type model.
