I just saw them for the first time tonight on the Sweetwater site but they’re supposedly not going to be in stock until around August. Jazzmaster style guitar and the specs look good for a $600 guitar. One piece alder body, ebony or maple fretboards with rolled edges, bone nut, locking tuners, vintage JM style single coils, C shaped 9.5 radius neck, and JM style bridge and tremolo unit.

The trem is a Goldo DG. For what its worth, Goldo makes the trems for Dusenburg. The trem does look like the offspring of a Hagstrom trem and a trem from an old 60's Japanese guitar.
