This is the "Esquire Girl" Esquire, made by Spalt Instruments, with a pickup with dyed bone flatwork, wound by Lindy Fralin, Swamp Ash body, Maple neck and no switch, just volume and tone, which is a reasonable-to-good take on the subject. This specific example is in Cologne, and I'm sure it's pricey.
And, honestly, this is about the closest they get to a "standard" guitar. There is a Les Paul, too, that looks like the "Dia de los Muertos", but otherwise, they trend from strange body types to pieces suspended by metal and just kinda near each other. Just absolutely stunning works of art.
Guitars are works of art, but they are also practical tools, and the "practical tools" part isn't set up here. What's the pickup type? 250K pots or 500K? What's the neck profile? The radius?
But you know what? If I owned it, if I played it, I probably just wouldn't care.
