Default Help! Custom Telecaster Spalted Maple HH

Anyone know anything about these? They are beautiful and specs are interesting; they look solid. But has anyone here actually played one?

Based purely on it's looks and the specs, I think it would be a very cool guitar to have!

Please keep us informed.

Based on its specs, it would have to sound sort of like a Les Paul with more string tension due to the longer neck scale. Probably sound a lot like a PRS.
