Nothing wrong with a Nude finish.....looks even better with no scratch plate and minimal hardware.
I have built a couple of Teles and not bothered with string through. Stock bridge is rubbish and impossible to intonate and ended up with one from Real Parts on each build that you can string load from on top or through body, and it has 6 adjustable saddles, just like a Strat which makes intonation a whole lot more accurate...... https://www.realparts.com.au/bridges...ge-nickel.html
Totally recommend Tonerider Hot Classics, they sound great.
