Switchblade

Plays really well and smoothly and very nice to hold

Great guitar! Basically and Fender Jaguar crossed with a Gibson SG. Fit and finish perfect right out of the box...flawless. Neck is slim and feels great as do the stainless steel frets. Real rosewood board (dyed almost black so it appears ebony). Vibrato is smooth and works well with no tuning issues. Tuners are good though at this price point I would have expected stock locking tuners (406 series are direct replacements). Electronics all function well and the pickups sound good although a bit on the dark side...they are a bit cheap looking I will say but no noise or squeals. Again, at this price point, I would EXPECT US made pickups and components (like what Epiphone is doing with their Inspired By series...the Epis are cheaper too.) The hard case is much better than I expected. Very high quality and built like a tank. The outdated, individual, Jaguar-esque, pickup switches makes it almost impossible to switch pickups on the fly during a song. They should have just added a 3-way toggle like the Cobain Sig Jaguar from Fender. I'm not a huge fan of the name...seems kind of random. They should have went with Woodbine SE or LTD or something like that. Minor quibbles aside, it's a great guitar and will proudly gig along side my Gibsons. Suggestion, get a real photographer to take better photos and get some of these into the hands of some reputable YouTube reviewers....more players should know about these.
