The 335 was fitted with a trapeze tailpiece at about the same time that
the TLs were being made.
Clearly, there would be differences in treble string tensions with the Fender-style headstock on the TL.
There are some differences between the Lopez and Grohl versions that
could affect the sound and feel of the guitar. The strings on the
Grohl are attached to the body with a stopbar in the same way as a 335.
That's a difference for sure, but the TL was almost certainly so
equipped because the 335 and 345 were also then being made with the
"diamond" trapeze tailpiece (even if many of them have been "converted"
to stop-tauils since).
Had production continued, it's not inconceivable that they would have
been swapped over to stop-bar units instead of the diamond (as happened
with the 300/345).
I don't know what a "Burstbucker" is, but it probably isn't like a
'60s Humbucker.
I think it is. It's supposed to be a replica of the 1959/1960 PAF as
fitted to Les Paul Standards of the time. The "burst" bit sounds
somewhat aggressive, but it only refers to a guitar finish. Pickups are
in any case easily interchangeable.

I have seen a few TL Standards over the years, a couple in London and
one in Los Angeles about ten years ago, but I have never seen a TL
Deluxe at all (except on TV and in adverts/catalogues).
Even the Barney Kessel is rare in the UK. In fifty years, I have seen
three.
