I guess I don't see the point. How does that even sound? "Here's my brigde pickup...and here's my other bridge pickup!" Is it supposed to be humbucker-esque, or some unique sound combo of two (mostly) bridge single coils?

I think you can wire them so that they're essentially humbuckers - although I don't know what the benefit would be compared to just putting a humbucker there where the coils are designed to work well together. I guess you might get better single-coil sounds than from a split humbucker? Can't think of another reason.
Fender now also makes EVH guitars which do basically the same thing as these Squiers and Charvels, the 5150 models:
Seems to me like there's a risk of bran cannibalization here, when they're making essentially the same guitar (just with slightly different headstocks) across several brands.

You know what? I actually really dig thatI'm a sucker for a specific category of guitars which I have given the snappy label of "guitars that aren't usually associated with a Floyd rose, with a Floyd Rose".

I can agree with that, I also really like that one.
And I never liked teles to begin with.
The matching headstock made it complete !

I've never liked normal teles, but "superteles" are somehow really cool - like the original 1980's ESP Eclipses, Jackson Telly's etc. Ibanez's TurboT is fugly though.
