That sort of thing, informally a "Fat Tele," is very versatile. Some variation of that would be my choice if I had to make do with one electric guitar. I love the sound of a neck humbucker sometimes. I love the sound of a traditional Telecaster single coil. With this scheme, I have both. And using pickup heights to balance the sound, you can get a nice two pickup combination sound.
Like the post just above mine, I noted a slightly narrower nut on this model. I consider that a small negative. As with acoustic guitars, I think that makes clean cross-picking or fingerpicking left-left hand fingerings more difficult when your are changing the fingering one or two fingers at a time in the cowboy chord area of the first three frets, but it really doesn't have much impact on single note "lead guitar" playing.
