Nice score! The other guitarist in my band has one of these that he never plays and I've been trying to get him to sell it to me for years to no avail.
A friend of mine has the older Tele Custom RI that was made in Japan, and it sounded great with the stock pu's. I don't know if the pickups and pots were different on those than on the current Mexican models, the only problem I had with it was that it broke strings like crazy with the stock steel bridge saddles.
The thing rings wonderfully unplugged. I am thinking of ordering a Warmoth pickugard for it, with regular HB routes. This would allow me to install a Brobucker and Antiquity in it... Quite a combo!
