They do! Further to the "is this a Tele" debate I'll be the first to admit that it's probably not. So in the interests of avoiding upsetting the purists out there I'll from now refer to it as a "Bigsby Fender Thinline with a Tele neck, loosely base on a Tele body but with twice the cutouts and neck through body construction". A mouthful but it sounds cool. 8)
The double cutaways are unusual but are not, for me, enough to disqualify the guitar from being a "Telecaster". After all, you get guitars branded as "Les Paul" by Gibson that have a double cutaway, and the Fender Telecaster Bass doesn't look much like the guitar that Jim Campilongo or Brad Paisley play.
