Your EC-1000's humbuckers are hotter and warmer than the original's MIM Tele single coils. Neck pickup with tone rolled to 6 tames the high-output darkness and approaches single-coil clarity. Gain stays low (3) because the original is pristine clean — no breakup. Mid pushed +1 vs original to compensate for humbucker's scooped tendency and keep the guitar present through all that reverb.
