Does it come with the original cover art

At that price, I'd expect it to come with Eric Clapton.

what is so masterbuilding in bolting an old strat neck on some old Tele lying around? That is what the original was...

Exactly what I thought. I’ve done the same thing in the past, it’s not rocket science.

Deluxe Telecaster bodies have a neck pocket to take a Strat neck.

I guess the Deluxe was introduced just after Blind Faith.

I have done similar with an old paulwonia tele body of dubious parentage ,quality and dimensions and a Squier Joe Trohman tele (large head strat ) neck with a chewed up truss rod nut  .Its not so much custom shop ,more like  dumpster out side a pawn shop but  it plays well and sounds good.I like 12 inch radius Fender neck for my sins .

Clapton also played a Danelectro on the Blind Faith album, but people probably try and forget that.
