This is an original 1953 Telecaster that someone routed holes in. It looks like it was modified to hold a Bigsby vibrato. Dan Erlewine replaces the missing wood with a darned good match so this guitar can go back on the vintage market.

About the guitar in this guitar repair video: This Tele body is from 1953. In order to sell the guitar, the owner wants to restore it to nearly-original condition.
