After playing around on a few tele's at the store yesterday, need advice.

As the title says, I was checking out a few Tele's yeasterday. Some MIM's, a couple of second hand MIA's and A MIJ. Loved the MIJ, but I've always preferred Japanese made anything.. Mainly because of attention to detail for significantly less money.
These guitars were all set up the way I like single coil guitars, nice and low with a bit of buzz if you give it a good hard whack. Lovely to play, and always a bit of fun with the growl you can get out of them. I'm a LP and PRS kinda guy, though I always have loved the twang you can only get out of a tele, and as an LP guy I am very used to wide fat necks. I'm 6'4. 90kg. My fingers are like pork sausages. I love the look of the tele's but they guys at the store told me I'll never find any Tele with a wide fat neck with jumbo frets.

So, I thought r/guitar might know of a company that makes Tele copies or if there are any rare Fenders that came out with the bigger necks for my fat old fingers.

Cheers for your help. Any advice is greatly appreciated.
