New Fender Shortscale Telecaster

How do you guys think it'll sound? I'm at least a little curious if it'll take the best or worst of both world. It looks funny, at the very least.

Kinda cute, kinda ugly:

Apparently, "Juicy R&B tones lurk in the Telecaster's middle position, thanks to the combination of Fender and Guild pickups"

They are soooo small. I played one last weekend and it was a tonne of fun, but the body is maybe 20% smaller than a regular Tele, aside from the obvious shorter scale.

It definitely felt like a fun throwaround guitar, but I don't understand why they made the body so small.

For a comparison, it felt smaller than a Mustang.

The short scale seems interesting. The smaller body seems a bit of a bummer.

Looks pretty cool. I find that most guitars end up looking a bit big on me, so would be cool to try this out and possibly end up with a guitar that doesn't seem very big. Digging the aesthetics of it. I've always like the look of the thinline pickguards. Might have to check one of these out next time I go to get strings...
