I guess I'll just put this here.
This is a kit from the DIY Guitars sale it looks the same the TL-1TB.
I was going to do a build diary but I am useless at remembering to take photos of things as I do them plus I probably would have gotten booted from the forum because a lot of swearing went into this kit. The front of the guitar was meant to be black colortone and tru-oil finish like the back but I had a mishap (lot of swearing and firewood threats) so sanded back and out came the rattle cans. Got a tele pick guard with room for a humbucker and modified it to fit around the F hole and the humbucker ring. I put a humbucker sized P90 in the neck, I put an Entwistle HV58 in the bridge and wired it up with a push/pull pot for coil splitting, has an orange drop tone cap, and one of DB's bone nuts. When I assembled it all the swearing was forgiven as it played nicely and sounded great with very little setting up. Then after playing for a while I realized even after leaving the body sit for a few weeks after applying the clear coat to the front it must have been slighty tacky still hence the wearing on the back edge of the guitar(more swearing). As I said all was forgiven because it plays great and sounds fantastic might look into doing a better job of the finish on the front later on.
