I have this one built by Chris Stambaugh. I went with a hybrid headstock to eliminate the string tree as well as have a drop D lever on the low E string.

I'll echo that it's about a pound or two heavier than the average Tele. My builder didn't want to use lightweight ash because he figured his particular pin router would have splintered with all the routing.

If you want to get around the weight issue, Rolling Bender makes a drop in lever that goes on the B saddle for 3 or 6 saddle Fender style bridges. It's also possible to have the strap mounted B bender and add a lever to the G string to have B and G bending options.
