Or I also found an Aus site that sells tele templates drawn onto Queensland Maple: Guitar Parts from Australian Luthiers Supplies - Parts and materials for guitars, basses, mandolins and violins, replacement hardware including bridges and machine heads, wood for tops, backs & sides, necks and fingerboards, tuners, bridges and other - it'd be a bit more work, but not impossible.

The more I think about it, the more I think this might be a distant future thing, and maybe even more of a building-from-scratch project, so I'd end up with two teles, instead of one and a half.
