AFAIK, the sig model "Tuff Dog" guitars were all QMT and neck-through construction. Does it have the Twisted Tele pickups and 4-way switching?

Is the signature on the back of the headstock a decal, or part of a decal, or is it an actual signature that Merle could have written on this CS guitar?

In fact it's not a neck-through construction.
There is a set-neck with deep-carved heel and two wings.
