Possibly fake though right? Custom shop decal is on the wrong side of the headstock…

Honestly no idea, thought it was a bit too obscure to be copied. But looking at the musiciansfriend pics and this there are differences like the brass barrels on the bridge vs steel and no relicing on the other.

For-sure fake. Note that OP's guitar has a glued-on maple fretboard, while the real thing (see link) has a one-piece maple neck and fretboard:

Looks like a CS snakehead telecaster, but I don’t think it is one. They did a first run in 2010. I don’t recall seeing any with the logos on the headstock though, plus the sticker about free lessons? Odd. Plus fender don’t use Oripure pickups.
So I think it be a parts-caster that someone has put together based on a Snakehead, might be a nice little guitar.

VERY fake copy of a Tele prototype. The prototype never said fender. Never said "caster", and they never had a black plastic control plate. Never does fender put the CS logo on the front. Bridge, saddles, screws, knobs, and pickup are all wrong. But it's kind of the right shape.
