I have a friend who has the bass version of this and it is a great compromise. Very sturdy but very light and comfy on your back. I carry around my Esquire at school in one of the nicer Roadrunner gig bags w/ the removable backpack and it's great when you have a bunch of other stuff to bring besides you guitar. I assume you're going to be carting around a Tele, but if you're going to bring some other axes, I personally don't feel comfortable putting guitars with tilt back headstocks in gig bag, at least when they're on your back. The bag tends to tug at the head a bit too much to convince me that it's safe. Here's the case though:
