Default Fender type guitar for around £550?

Due to the upcoming sale of one of my guitars, I am going to have some money to pointlessly spend on another guitar.

Ideally, I am after some sort of Fender type guitar. Things I like:

Maple fingerboards
7.25" radius necks
Single coils

Things I don't like:

Humbuckers
Pointy bits
Active pickups

I already own two Telecasters and a Stratocaster, so I'm not really interested in another one. I know this limits my options quite a bit, but I thought people on hear might have some interesting suggestions? I was thinking of maybe a second hand '69 Thinline Telecaster or a short scale guitar like a Music Master or a Duosonic.

Fender 69 Telecaster Thinline in Natural Andertons Music Co Guildford Surrey

You could get a new 69 Telecaster for pretty much bang on your budget Jan.

Aye, Mexican though! Plus, I'd have to buy a new bridge for it.

this fills prettty much none of your criteria, but I think you should give the Telecaster Deluxe reissue a try. a little different from a regular tele in that it has fender wide range pickups which are technically humbuckers i guess, but they sound so good and are real versatile. the neck plays amazing. Different to the other guitars you own too. It's made in mexico, but its a £550 guitar so the build quality is more than adequete.

I thought you would like it, they appear to be slightly easier to source than those old Starcasters.

Looks like it has 2 of the 3 things you dislike though.

That Fender Coronado looks amazing- wish I wasn't so poor right now.
