I don't follow what is being released these days, the last new Tele I played was the FMH flamed maple top and twin buckers through a Princeton and a little Vox I couldn't find a tone I liked so it stayed in the shop.
The Snakes Head design is probably just taken from the 3 a side lap steels they were making at the time, no idea what the bridge is like because the only pic I have of it has a very rudimentary cover over the bridge and pickup.
The reason the Tele bridge pup is angled is because it was taken from a lap steel which was too wide for the string spacing we know and love
I still need a Tele with a P90 at the neck and maybe an Esquire.
I have posted here in the past that I am building a carbon fibre Tele style 12 string ( an ex F1 fabricator is doing the CF stuff )
