Great playing!
I agree, ash is the best choice for a Tele.
From the sounds of the clip above, it seems that once you have dialed in a good tone (well, exceptional tone!) for the neck pickup with your amp settings, you may find the bridge pickup way too bright and possibly also too thin, unless you quickly roll back the tone on the guitar. Do you foresee any such problems with this set?
Also, is the neck pickup microphonic to the extent that if you accidentally hit it with your pick, you get an annoying tapping sound coming out of the amp?
