I'm guessing probably not but has anyone heard of these?
https://reverb.com/uk/shop/gronlundguitarsBeautiful guitars, hand-crafted in Maine. Love his designs - classic but contemporary. The build quality seems fabulous and he uses top-spec fittings. Have loved them from afar for some time.
So I have a dilemma. I'm planning on buying one more guitar and then taking a break from buying for a while. I was just about to buy a Gibson ES Les Paul goldtop which looks beautiful. But lovely Mr Gronlund has now offered me a cracking discount on one of his. I would be buying it blind and unplayed. Really wary of that with an unknown make - as good as they seem. Gibson obviously have their critics but I've never had an issue with one personally.
Worried about resale value on the Gronlund - incredibly low, I suspect. But it does look lovely and has a fabulous spec.

Thinking resale value would be £600 at a guess?
With many such guitars, you look at them, you play them, you look at the price, then walk away, after you realise that whilst there is probably nothing wrong with the guitar itself, you just don't see much of a market for it
I would be more worried about the resale value then anything else - Of course if it plays and sounds exactly as you hope it would, then you probably don't need to sell it - But few if any would show genuine interest in it if it was ever offered for sale or trade in - Of course such issues change if a main stream, well known, guitar player ever decides to play one on a regular basis
Leaning towards the Gibson. Although i suspect there are plenty of people here who would advise me against that....!
Beyond the obvious Tele/Gretsch references, it reminds me of a Starcaster - especially from the waist down.
Pictures of the guitar?
The cocked wah esquire wiring mod makes it really versatile for one pickup.
And it reminds me more of a Rick than a Tele
