the tesla is much more balanced than any guitar i've used, except for the 
klein electrics; the body-design is, in fact, very ergonomic.
plenty of forearm-resting room, there..... much more than a strat/lespaul/etc.

to each their own, eh?
but:
ya might wanna judge the tesla (better) by trying one.....

me, too. (i still have one, though i never play it. and a '65 mustang, etc).
that, however, does definitely not (in my experience) preclude the inevitable 
development of guitar-design..... in which i remain remarkably interested and 
supportive of those luthiers (ned steinberger, steve klein, ulli teuffel, 
andreas, etc) who pursue that evolution.
best,
