It's TANGLEwood, my friend. I remember reading a review in Total Guitar when it came out years back.. probably late 90's. Believe it came in some sparkly finishes too... aaand it's a UK brand.
And used by ex-pat Graemey in this Memory Man vid:

Hmm, I like the look of that thing. I usually hate Bigsbys, too.

If i remember rightly the Tanglewood Jetstream was the coolest model.

I know this sounds a bit hackneyed or something, but these sort of remind me of the current Fret-King guitars for some reason. I don't think it's because they are British, slightly strange, and slightly budget, but they share something with them.

I know what your saying, same with Eggle, they all have that exagerated horn or something similar.

And Cort too, except they obviously aren't British. They still represent terrific value, though.

Cort are one of the few manufacturers left that are'nt owned by Fender or Gibson, they are excellent quality but the aesthetics dont quite do it for me.
I found out the other day that John Birch guitars are made in west bridgeford, Nottingham. I never knew. They made a lot of top british players custom models in the 70s, Slade and Black Sabbath to name a few.
