Behold, the Vintage Modified Telecaster Custom II. Stock layout is two overwound Duncan Designed P90s through a Gibson LP style control layout. Everything is through the scratchplate. Hence, it would be easy to modify to single pickup and two pots. Either purchase a blank Tele Deluxe scratchplate or do like endorsee Deryck Whibley and tape over the redundant holes.
My main guitar is an Esquire partscaster with an OilCity Alligator 90 in the bridge. It scratches the itch quite nicely. It's on the right.

Though I still borrow my daughter's guitar when I REALLY want to make a statement.

Here are the triplets
This one is definitely special
Anyone played one?
Very pleased as it was a bit of a bargain and now that it's had a fretboard oiling, a new set of strings and a bit of a set-up, I have to say it's very good indeed. I'll be putting it through it's paces properly this afternoon.
Mind I have to say, as a mostly-Fender sort of chap, that headstock/ neck join looks like a disaster waiting to happen.
Now epiphone have some nice sc offerings at around £300, the TV yellow special in particular (£1000 less than the gibson).
Gibson dc tributes can be had for £5-700 which is still an excellent deal.
And if you can't get over 'that scratchplate' then the gibson sc jr and specials look great.
And then there are the SG jrs and specials.
It's good to see that gibson have finally responded to the demand for these guitars with a pretty great range at all price points.
I don't think you can go to far wrong. I'd probably budget for a good setup on all of them anyway.
Not sure on sc vs dc feel as I've not played a sc. But the dc feels great to me. Basic, balls out rock guitar, that also can do decent cleans. Very restricted on tonal options and it's pretty raw and basic in terms of build, but that's all part of the charm.
I also quite like the fact that its a little more unique and doesn't have the same instant artist association of the sc models. And the 'issues' that folks often mention (scratchplate, maple neck, front mounted jacks etc) mean that they can be bought very cheaply indeed.
