Alright, 50 internet points to whoever can tell me the manufacturer of this lovely looking instrument.

It is not an obscure brand, just a very unusual guitar. Have fun!

I want to say Washburn but that tailpiece is an 'R' and not a 'W' haha

Sorry Mick, not a Washburn. But you have picked up on a major clue...

Haha! Well done Fretty! It is indeed a BC Rich Conte jazz box. Very strange.

It was the only other brand that I could think of that would have a "R" on the tailpiece. And the colour looked very BC Rich-esque.

It's got a modern look to it despite the design, the square edges of the hardware etc. I was going to guess Rickenbacker, but it's too futuristic. BC Rich...never would have guessed that.
