I played a new Mex 50's reissue Esquire, and loved the bridge pup, so I decided I'm going to shoot for the 50's MIM Tele, not the Esquire as I like to use the neck pup sometimes when I play blues. The neck was just right for my small hands, and that bridge pup was what I was after tone wise.

I think Fender has some real winners in the MIM '50's and '60's classics.
Mostly I like maple necks, but the '60's classic really pulls me.
I could be happy with either (or both)!

I knew the Gatton stuff would work with this axe, but thought the smaller frets would hinder playing blues, but had no problem, the neck is just right for my hands - great axe.
