Again, I am not claiming this is a 1958 Tele!!
The second one seems to check out - assuming that somebody out there is a big enough fan of LC to desire his old guitar.
EDIT: The grain in the body wood resembles Japanese Sen rather more than American White/Light/Swamp Ash. Differentiating between ash family woods is academic because a 1958 Telecaster ought to be Alder. The chips in the finish are as you would expect to find in urethane rather than nitro-cellulose.
A thousand wizzes.
As already said the first one is a MIJ Fender with changed hardware and a non-original pencil 'date'.
The second one most likely was hacked by Mr. Chamberland, since I can't actually imagine anyone doing that to a guitar after about 1980. Unless he's much more famous than I know, it seems wildly overpriced as well, regardless of what the body and neck originally were.

Seriously: If you value it, take/fetch it yourself
I like that a lot.
I once came across a late-60s Strat which the owner had decided to convert into a Tele Deluxe, presumably some time after 1972 - the front was completely routed out for the two humbuckers, four knobs and switch location of the Tele Deluxe, and fitted with a pickguard which was roughly the Tele Deluxe shape but also covered the lower horn like the original Strat one.
The owner wanted me to restore it by filling the holes and re-routing, and refinishing in a solid colour. I thought it was fairly pointless since the work had actually been done quite well, and the result was very much 'of its time' and quite cool in its own way. I never did get the job, so either he left it or someone else had a go...

Look at John Oates' Strat...
