Ivan, check out the spec sheet:
Its made in Japan and China, then assembled in the UK.
I must say I like that control scheme, 5 way switch, master volume, two
tone, with a push/pull on one of the tone pots for more pickup combinations.
That Rez-O-Tube tremolo system looks far out though! Anyone know how it
works? Whats up with the diagonal tubes? Those detached pickguard "horns"
are pretty far out too. I agree with you guys, its designed to be a
Cadillac.
