Anybody have any idea what the guitar model is in this pic? It seems to have a 70's deluxe body and a gibson neck. Any Ideas?

Someone fitted a Gibson neck to a Tele, it would seem.

I played with the pic in photo shop but I was unable to get the pic light enough to see the writing on the headstock.
The tuners definitely look Gibsonish (is that a word? :) )
If you saw the movie crazy heart there one of the guys in the back up band are playing one of these.
I am a tele freak, but I have never seen one like this before.
I spent a good couple of hours last night trying to find a post about it, but the only thing that came up was TDPRI.

Thanks so much for your help, you guys.

The neck is indeed "Gibsonesque". The fretboard apparently is intended to represent that found on a Les Paul Custom, SG Custom, or ES355 but the headstock lacks the "split double-diamond" inlay found on these instruments. The humbucker/P90 pickup combo is noteworthy.

The guitar was also in the movie Crazy Heart. The band was Ryan Bingham.
Their guitar player is out of texas and is named Schaub.
I think it might be one of his creations. His guitars are kind of quirky like this.

Yeah it's not one of the Epiphone Teles .
Here is a link to pix of them : http://www.google.com.au/search?q=telec ... 40&bih=708
You will notice the headstock is more like a Gibson Explorer .
