I had one in red from the mid '80s built in TX, Fender sued Schecter for the use of their tele headstock shape.

I remember that guitar as my least favorite T-style guitar I've owned of many. Very heavy and the pickups sounded bad, the bane of splittable humbuckers, didn't sound good in either configuration. Other than that (!) the playability was decent.
