This (tele) Kaster has the shorter scale. It has no lacquer, but an oil finish, which contributes to the resonance. A vintage tele pickup (the Roswell TE-classic) and a fat FilterTron-look humbucker by Roswell (LPN-N) offer that authentic tele sound image. Needless to say, this guitar has all the Schwung innovations and feels great. The Gotoh tele bridge has 'in-tune'  brass saddles, allowing proper intonation, despite the traditional 3 x 2 saddles. It is definitely F oriented, but this 'blue jeans' has undeniable character. So much better than just another copy. Price € 2,685.00
