I tend to be a bit of a "MIA snob" but I saw a MIM 50's Esquire recently that I was very impressed with.

+1, love my MIM Esquire. The necks are great and they're pretty light bodies that are very nicely finished. My sunburst is one of the better looking bursts I've seen on any guitar.
I upgraded:
Pickups - swapped stock pups out for Don Mare 4709's (added neck)
Pickguard - changed to bakelite guard when I added neck pup
Saddles - Glendale compensated saddles - kept stock bridgeplate
Tuners - replaced with locking kluson-style tuners from stewmac
On the list -
Will probably change the output jack for an electroset at some point.
Kept all the stock electronics, pots and switch are of good quality.
