That there's a truly strange hybrid body shape. I admit it kinda offends my sensibilities but I bet it's comfy to play.
 
Tele question in general:
Do yours , or Teles commonly have pretty obvious neck dive?
Me thinks one of the reasons the strat has a longer top horn.

In all honesty....it’s going to be more of a build/mod.
I was thinking I’d buy a body, then a neck, and so on.

But, based on what I’ve been digging up so far, it may be more cost effective to just buy a used Strat and modify accordingly.

So, I’m in the “funds allocation” phase, right now.

The beauty of this approach is that I don’t need to make a final decision on body color, yet.
 
WELL ------------------LOCATE SOME DAMN FUNDS FOR THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I’m thinking along the lines of some metallic color, like Inca Silver, with a black pickguard and black plastics. Also, I’m definitely looking for a rosewood fretboard.

When I get a gold pickguard for my white Strat I want to swap its black pickguard onto the silver one. Might go with black knobs & pickup covers too but I don't have any of those sitting around, so if I decide to I'll have to order 'em.
 
I like big butts----er wait no I mean les pauls--- same diff....
this one weights a metric ton-- it WIDER and will not fit a standard case---has funky pups--- wacko wiring a very NARROW neck --black binding --and takes 45 minutes to "dial" in to an amp (because the usual "humbucker or strat" settings are USELESS) ---but--- when you find that sweet spot---- there is NO OTHER GUITAR like it
