I know it's a Maverick.  They also made an RG-like guitar with those same knobs.  I really want to get my hands on one but there aren't many in the states. :(

Edit:  It's a Maverick X1:

It was a UK company that went under a while ago but they're decent guitars if you can get them for a good price.

I tried one of those before and wasnt really impressed. mind you they hadnt done the best setup on it so might be worth giving them a try!

I tried one, and the neck was really nice, but because of the body shape it seems to stick out a mile.

I've just bought an X1 and stuck a painkiller in the bridge. All the mavericks I own play really well but this mofo is heavy! I'm using it live for the first time tonight-cant wait!!  :lol:

unfortunately not...

The company has been put into indefinite hibernation due to problems in getting US distribution.

There was a period where the company was going to enter the US market through custom shop instruments but this doesn't seem to have been successful.

They made some really nice guitars though and I find the controls to be the best aspect of my F1 prototype (providing we ignore the aftermarket Ceramic Warpig set).

I Love 'em. I've got 3 now (F1, G1 & X1) and am always on the look out for others. Used the X1 live for the first time last night (wwwmrtemper.co.uk) and was right on the money(though the new PK helps!).
