FYI: true factory made CBG JN Guitar Cask Hogshead review

I found these on Musician's Friend for $179.99 and then found this review video. One other review of a round sound hole git from this same company said it was pretty much unplayable until truss rod adjustment and a pro setup.HOGSHEAD is the electric version of the FIRKIN model, with F style sound holes designed to minimize the feedback. This guitar is equipped with a P90 dog ear pickup, which produces a creamy and bluesy sound, and with tone and volume controls. You are ready to rock.

Well I'm not impressed with the sound at all! Not sure if it's the pickup placement or what but I'd pass just based on that.

I've been curious about those JN Cask gits for a while. I saw them a couple years back and couldn't tell if they were overpriced junk or a really great deal. From this video, it looks like they're pretty decent. He doesn't really go over the construction though.
