If you described it I would think no, but it does actually work. It has one of the nicest non-Fender headstocks too. I still wouldn't own it, but not because I think it's ugly - I just don't like Floyds.
It would look even better with a chrome bridge pickup surround. And the volume control is still in the wrong place - even 3/8" further back on the plate would make all the difference... I just find it too close on a Tele.

a pacifica headstock to upset the gear snobs
a tele body to piss off the 80s shredders
a locking nut to frustrate the tele players
a floyd rose to disappoint most over 15s
zebra striped humbuckers to disappoint the les paul fans
a cherryburst to upset fender fans
overall it looks like it'll upset the musicman wolfgang fans
about all they've missed is relicing and a variax - other than that it's going to start a bit of a flame war to decide who has the right to be most incensed by it.
Seriously: If you value it, take/fetch it yourself

Nah... it ain't as cool as a Telebacker

That won't save the maker from the wrath of Rickenbacker either - there are at least three trademarked features in it. (Whether or not you agree they should be.)
I love Rickenbackers and Telecasters, but that thing is like if someone genetically mixed up Halle Berry and Marilyn Monroe and ended up with Nicky Minaj. It's got the right bits in roughly the right places but the overall result is revolting!
