Tech: Tele with reverse headstock

I just saw my son playing a gig downtown today with his new (to him)sunburst Tele. The first thing I noticed was that it had a reverse headstock. How common is this? I don't think I've ever seen one before.

Seems to be fairly common though not ubiquitous. If you Google

telecaster with reverse headstock

you'll find some discussions about it on various sites.

Reverse headstock strats and teles is a fashion fad that come and goes...

On a practical basis, it does reverse the layout of string lengths,
which some guitarists claim as beneficial for string bends...???
