Checked the other items he has sold and he seems to deal in guitar, (mainly Bass), parts. Has sold some bodies, necks etc. recently so has probably assembled it himself.
Still looks nice though...

The spacing from the edge is all over the shop, random hand drilling or what. I'd be concerned what other corners had been cut in it's production.
