I posted a reply to this question elsewhere, so in brief, the AC Tele from the Fender CS uses a SD 59 neck HB and a CS Texas Special bridge pickup. Since the CS sometimes tweaks the pickups they use, that TX Spl may not be identical to the one you can buy after market. I think a Nocaster lead would work as well -- I played a CS NAMM LTD Tele with a 59 neck HB and Nocaster lead, and the combination was stellar. An SD Antiquity Tele lead of one sort or another would be a good option, too.
