Pretty Words...
No idea, not really a brand on my radar, though they do seem to make some stunning semis.
PS FWIW I’m gradually coming to the conclusion that the guitar I really want doesn’t exist! I think it is something like a very lightweight Les Paul/SG Jr with a simple wrap around bridge (i.e. like a lighter version of my Gordon Smith), but with just one P90 in the middle, i.e. where no one puts a pickup. I just think that is where it should be and that Leo Fender got it *exactly* right with the precision bass, i.e. exactly mid-point between the 20th fret and the bridge. If I was designing a guitar that is where I’d put it. I’m vaguely tempted to see if Crimson would do me a custom kit just to see if I’m right. I certainly feel the Les Paul has two pickups in the wrong place, one being too bright, one too fat (possibly true for a Tele too, but I’ve not spent enough time with one to know what I sound like playing one), and whilst I do like having three on a Strat I hardly ever use the bridge one on its own. I suspect just one in exactly the right place for me is what I need! I notice some jazz hollows do actually do this.
Crimson does a blank body just with a pre-cut neck pocket I think.
