These have managed to go under the radar for decades, but they will eventually cost daft money. As far as I understand, they are quality, great sounding guitars. Jamie Hince of the Kills loves them

Pretty sure I played one of these in Forsyth's in Manchester when I was on the hunt for my first "nice" (read: "not Squier) guitar. Liked it!
On a sidenote, there's a really good new local band who dress almost exactly like Strawberry Switchblade. Maybe I should actually listen to Strawberry Switchblade...
