Well I like them!

Just needs a split diamond on the head stock

I am sure how I feel about them.
 I don't like them. 
The bridge & tailpiece. The bling. The inlays. No. No. And no.

Love it! The black one is fantastic. I think the white one would look better with a Gibson shaped 'guard. Yuri does some great stuff.

I could see Billy Gibbons playing one of those.

A bit too bling for me but I do like. Twin humbuckers on a Tele is a great thing indeed because (unlike a lot of mongrels) it will likely sound like it looks, cross between a Tele and a LP.

I'd have liked it more with a toggle on the upper horn and no control plate.

They changed so much yet left the damn control layout! Other than that I think they look good. They should've gone all the way and done the LP control layout though

The bridge and separate tailpiece doesn't work for me at all - if they'd used a wraparound bridge it would be prettier.

Other than that, I tend not to like gold hardware, nor cream coloured guitars.

But the black one is kinda cute.

impmann

Nope.

Sorry, not my bag.

Yes but to be fair so do most things. I've been idly pondering using one to replace the broken handle on my fridge door

No. 

The Telecaster Deluxe is already this guitar.

I like them a lot.

Agreed that a wraparound bridge would have looked better though.

I don't dislike the Tele control layout in general, but visually the Tele control plate puts too much gold on the front of these guitars.  LP controls would look better. 

And I can't really warm to those block inlays.  But in principle, I like the set-neck Tele-meets-LP idea.

I like em. I'd rather have the white one. I'm guessing these will be costly, and piss off most of both the f and g camps.

I don't like the bridge/tailpiece.  Just looks wrong on a Tele.
