This guitar is a good example of what I mean by the term "custom built".
Based on the Zooma: 7 strings, Hipshot Piezo-Trem, no locking nut – but amazingly stable tuning! 29 frets, easily accessible up to the highest positions, pickup selection and electrics according to personal specs. The same of course applies to the wood and the finish. Light overall weight in spite of the additional mass.
A statement in itself.
