I designed this back in 2014 with Kip Elder of Starr Guitars in Orlando. They made it for me, and it ended up posted all over forums and the like. Looks like they saw it and copied it.
The company are tweaking now tho, because the neck prohibits getting right to the top access. Also, they are putting belly cuts in as the body was to thick.
@@Chibsonchannel-k7qStarr guitars got it right first time, no need for tweaks when it's made by master craftsmen. Still, pretty funny that they copied my guitar.
Note: Rythm= neck PU, Treble= bridge PU... 😉 Looks like you get a lot of guitar for your buck, but I'd like to know more about weight, balance, neck profile. Personally, I'd rather go the Partcaster route (I made 7), rather than becoming enslaved to the Chinese production (don't we have enough of them already...?). Depending on the parts used, I can assemble nice Teles going from 750 to 1800 $. Not necessarily cheap, but made to my specs with quality components sourced in the US/Europe. My 2¢ Cheers !

It's called a Tele Deluxe! They made 'em in the 70s.
Scale length is a difference.
did they have the same neck joint_
If you ignore the pickguard, front rout, set neck and scale length, yes, absolutely the same! :)

Sorry about the mistakes. You are right about the weight etc. I've taken that on board. Thankyou for your comment 👍
Rhythm is bridge and treble is neck pickup??? is it wired wrong
