Do you have the specifics on your current guitar? Woods, neck dimensions, etc?
I have two telecasters. One Ash/Maple, one Alder/Rosewood (well, Pau Ferro). They're not duplicates, but I like the subtle differences between them.
For me at least, I prefer my necks to be similar. I prefer a C shape over a V, and I can't deal with vintage-type 7 1/4" radius, 1 5/8" necks. I like a flatter radius (9 1/2 or more) and at least a 1 11/16" nut width. I know that I prefer vintage 3-saddle bridges over 6-saddle AM STDs.
If you can narrow down what it is you need to feel similar enough to your CS tele, you should be able to get something pretty similar, even if you have to go used to find it (like I did with my Esquire).
Headstock name or country of origin doesn't matter as much to me as the feel of the guitar. YMMV.
