Something isn't quite right.

What, you've never heard of a wrap-around bridge?
(Edit: Yodedude2 beat me to it.)Wow. Since it's a kit, I assume that the bridge isn't actually attached that way; the photographer or an assistant screwed up the layout and no one caught it. (The knobs obviously aren't attached either.) If you're talking about the neck, I'm pretty sure that's bad photo editing. Somebody thought that these pieces would look good floating in empty black space, but did a terrible job of editing the background.
So yes, the photo itself reflects very poor craftsmanship (and salesmanship). The kit might actually be good, but no one could tell from this.
(Is there something else that I missed?)

Hi Reid.
You bought logical reasoning into a thread intended to question Chinese intelligence.
Shame on You

Funnily enough, you could probably make it intonate properly, but the action would be super high.
Not to mention the weird fret layout. Bad photoshop chop. I know it looks weird because of the slanted heel, but something still isn't right about the perspective.

Yeah, I always over-think everything...
I see what you mean.
It's a ... um ... it's a ... a lefty Dingwall! Yeah, that's it.

I think it's one of the new fangled bassakward bridges we keep hearing about recently.
Maybe having a neck only 1/4 inch thick would make for faster action? And since there's no room for the truss rod it would be lighter? Probably not a Photoshop job. Even the 1988 Photoshop would do the mask automatically. Someone did this slowly by hand. Not sure I could do that with any of my Photoshop versions. Maybe they have software the rest of the world isn't aware of. Hmmmmmm
I really want to see what's in the pink plastic bag. What are the odds the threads on the included screws go the other direction and i can't use a normal screwdriver? Then what?
You're not serious, or are you?

It is from an Australian site though, so I doubt you could order one.

Hey! Got a link to that kit? It looks like Spector.I want one.
It actually looks a heck of a lot like an Ibanez SR.
The only thing that screams SR, to me, is the neck heel. The rest looks like a Spector NS2
Maybe because the horrible photoshop job created all of those weird pre-Warwick angles
