I like the sound of the single coil. When I was shopping for an electric, I was fairly certain I wanted a Tele, just cause I find the shape comfortable. I thought about the Deluxe, but didn't like the sound I was getting with the humbuckers. P-90s are single coils as well. The other Tele lives at home and is used mostly by the WSPA.
And that's why all my bandmates lobby for me to play the Tele. :} The Keystone is a plain old Tele-style single coil, but it's just magical-sounding. Alas, I can't stand hum, so I switched to the EMGs and I'm enjoying the blissful quiet. EMG Tele pickups are actually really great! It's 90% as good as the Keystone in the bridge, which makes it better than 95% of the Tele pickups I've heard, AND it doesn't hum. But it's EMG-ugly, sigh.
Anyway, the Keystone is yours if you want it. One of the best traditional Tele bridge pickups I've ever heard, and the best I've owned.
