A TelesPaul Junior?
Popped up in my Newsfeed this morning. That's one odd guitar for my taste - notwithstanding the odd color.  By Fano. I'd never heard the name before. They're rather pricey - more than I'd be willing to invest in a flat top w/ a bolt-on neck.

This IS an odd bird, but it looks like they did a good job on it (some mashups are just horrible). I know a few people who would LOVE that guitar.

Yeah, it is an interesting mashup - despite my initial post sounding totally negative. For someone like me who's never been into Telecasters all that much, something like this could be an option I guess.
But first, more Les Pauls and at least one SG. :P

The filtertron neck pickup, and the amber orange finish suggests that the guitar is homage to the 1950's era Gretsch Guitars as well as the Telecaster. Who ever gets that guitar is going to want a reverb with a Dwell control.

I knew it reminded me of something besides the tele. Thanks for that!

I've never understood or appreciated mashup guitars. Instruments that became classics and lasted did so because everything fit right both aesthetically and musically. That doesn't. 
 In order, then, to discover the limit of deepest tones, it is necessary not only to produce very violent agitations in the air but to give these the form of simple pendular vibrations. - Hermann von Helmholtz, predicting the role of the electric bassist in 1877.

Yeah, those 5 and 6 string basses are the pits too!
Whassamaddaah wit dem? Tryin' to be a banjo or a geetar??!!??
Um. No. A mashup like that doesn't add anything, innovate or show any real creativity (or often times taste). It's sentence rearranging just communications the equivalent a words of randomly in. Or would you consider the previous sentence "art"?

The bridge not having the rails, two anchor screws and
probably sportin' the brass compensated saddles- all excellent improvements
over the original. If it's also offered as top load they have it covered.
The design? I've played guitars that I enjoyed so much that how it looked
just didn't matter. I'd have to play it to know if I liked it.
Great picture that I think shows it is a finely crafted instrument and sporting
excellent choice in hardware including the Fralin pups.
