Wow, an H170 copy?

At first glance I would have thought it was a 170.

In another life,

 

When we got our 1st shipment of a couple of these I said the same thing. No one knew what I was talking about til I showed them pics.

I don't like the headstock.

I wonder how much of this is the influence of pre-cnc jigs and machining and parts. If you start with the jigs or a boring machine to drill the four holes for the vol/tone controls and the back route on a LP style body, then decide to modify the body to a double cut, you have to move the pickup selector. So, where does it go that won't require a new machine or jig or a different back route and cover?

 

Seems like a lot of these thicker body, double cut two-pickup guitars have a similar look and control layout --maybe they all have similarly evolved from LP-type machining.

That's funny!
