Ignoring the price as always, I like it! :thu:
I'm not sure why I like it, it's pretty ugly. And I'm not much of a Tele or LP fan, but I do love a mash-up :grin: And I like the Dano style edging & binding.
 
Needs a maple board and about $1500 knocked off the price. I know the work that goes into this stuff, but the Tele build (regardless of actualy body shape) is among the least complicated of electric guitar builds. The materials are not particularly expensive (barring the Lollars) and while the dressing is pretty cool, it's still a slab body with a bolt-on neck. I know I'm far from the first person to mention this here or elsewhere, but this guitar at this price is rife with diminishing returns.

That said, I'm sure is sounds great and plays like butter.
 
Ummmmm....neutral - mainly because I already have a good Tele-style guitar (my Esquire). I do like the funky Trussart-like appointments.
 
How can it be a red rooster when it is green? :shrug:

Once you get past the funkiness of seeing a Tele bridge and pickup on an LP body it's not bad. Not sure I am digging the metal on the sides though.
 
I can think of better ways to waste that much coin.

Looks like they took all of the ugly from a telecaster AND a Les Paul, added a dash of Trussart trash and painted all a hideous shade of green. What's not to hate?
 
Not a big fan of mashups, but this one's OK.

Maple board, change the green to red, swap the tele bridge and pickups for a HB, and knock off 800 smackers and we my be on to something.
