I would actually be a bit tempted if I hadn't bought a bunch of stuff lately. I've even seen positive things written about the guitar. Hard to undo the fretboard inlay, but it may be doom compatible. The name can be taped over on the headstock. Odd thing is that while the body is contoured for the usual electro socket output, it isn't drilled for it and the output is on the control plate--seems a relatively easy thing to fix. And apparently on most of these no pre-routed neck pickup spot, unlike typical Esquire-type guitars. I dunno, drill and install the right, output, rewire it as you like, probably with a pickup change, and that's probably not too bad. Plus side: painted headstock on teh cheaps.
Edit: fuck it. Squier Cabronita Tele for $220. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Fender-Squier-V ... 5d50570575
