An interesting idea....I guess. I think his price is very optimistic

Way optimistic, IMHO. To his credit, he's real specific about the mods he did.

The T-bird looks quite nice with the 2+2 headstock. A bit RD-ish.

Put together kinda crudely.
The concept reminds me of the Shortscale Tbird from Suzi Quattro

It does. And like Suzi's, the bridge pickup is way too close to the bridge.
It is kind of crude, but at least he discloses it, like how he shaved too much from the neck heel and first tried to move the three-point.
