I think Benecol's is my favourite Telecaster on the boards.

Really? Ta. It is fucking lovely - tuned it to DADGAD this afternoon, since I mainly seem to be only listening to Six Organs of Admittance lately.

It ticks all the boxes. That's my favourite colour and pickguard combo, I like those bridges and a bridge single coil, and a 'tron in the neck? why the heck not?

Sort of - it's a Cimar, so a rebadged Ibanez/Ibanez precursor/nothing at all to do with Ibanez guitar, depending on which school of lawsuit guitar thought you subscribe to. I like it, had it since Uni (thirteen years now).
From Wikipedia:
"Cimar guitars were sometimes associated with Hoshino Gakki. Hoshino Gakki own the Ibanez brand name but do not own the Cimar brand name. The Cimar guitars were not produced by Hoshino Gakki. Hoshino Gakki contracted Cimar to produce low end guitars based on Cimar guitar designs which resulted in the "Cimar by Ibanez" logo and the appearance of "Cimar by Ibanez" guitars in some Hoshino Gakki Ibanez catalogues"
Mine crops up in the Cimar catalogue linked to on that wiki - it's a 1943CT, fact fans. It used to be black with a regular looking humbucker (actually a single coil in humbucker shell) and a tele neck style bridge pickup (same construction as James's Melody Maker pickups at a glance).

mahogany for some reason seems like a really good match for a tele. ive thought about getting a mahogany body for mine, and painting it grafiti yellow. now im thinking about it again. NOW. aaaand..... NOW.

One of the most boring Teles you may ever see.
It was a Nashville Deluxe, i replaced the guard and the pickups.
Noiseless neck p-up, hotrails bridge with coil split option.
