I like it, but not enough to start searching my wallet for a credit card.

I would think that would be a good guitar for more of an alt or indie rock vibe. It's got at least 3 departures from a traditional JM which would alter the tone, i.e. wood, bridge and P-90 neck.
 
I like it. The looks, the neck P90, the mahogany, the traditional tele bridge, pickup, and controls.
I've only played offsets briefly in music stores so I'm not familiar with them enough to know if they jive with me ergonomically long term.
If it were a normal shaped tele I'd be all in. As an offset, I'd really need to play it to know.
