I got rid of my classic player 50s as I never got used to the V neck, I used to get a sore hand after a while playing it which I have never had on anything else.
I picked up a nitro body used on here from @CasperCaster which saved me a chunk as allparts nitro necks are not cheap, even if they are well worth it.
I do however like the idea of picking your own colour and how much wear (3 tone faded sunburst for a tele I think if you are stuck for ideas : )
Edit You are making a tele though (doh!) in which case faded inca silver!

same shade as this one
I have to admit that I have always gone for maple on Tele's and Strats as long as it is nitro.
However, a recent Tele build had me going for rosewood and I have to say after a a life-time of maple I am loving the rosewood!
Just feels and sounds great.
I'd easily believe it affected the tone though and I do like the look of rosewood et al almost as much as maple. Depends which colour of body and scratchplate they go with
strip it and spray it LPB!...
Whatever is slick and fast feeling.
I had a rosewood epiphone a few years back and my God the board was grippy, so much so I couldnt bend anything. It went back.
Since then I’ve got 3 rosewoods, 1 maple and an ebony. Unsure yet what my actual preference is for feel.
