Question for the Valentine owners/players…

How close does it get to the traditional tele tone? I am curious especially when the neck humbucker is split, does it give a pretty convincing tele tone in the middle position? If you’re aware of any online clips of this type of tone, please post!

Also, I’m currently an Albert Lee SSS owner and absolutely love that neck. Is the Valentine neck comparable in terms if specs and feel? Thanks in advance.
