You are absolutely right, my man. It is
in fact a set-neck and not a neck-through. My bad!
But what's really cool is, mine is only the second set-neck "benchmade" one they've built.
Everything before that was bolt-on, and most of their models still continue to be so.
So mine will end up looking a lot like this
but with maple stripes in place of the black ones greeting the neck like that 
instead of looking like this (with them sturdy sturdy bolts)

What's up with the neck pickup in those? What is it?
As far as I'm aware, both pickups are from here:

Lace is an American company and they do things a little differently, but essentially it's
a strat or tele -style "single coil" (-ish) neck p-up and a modified 'bucker style p-up at the bridge.
Scott may do something special to them once he gets them, I honestly do not know.
The Varitone thing is a neat take on the standard tone-knob circuit, swapping for a
rotary chickenhead knob that cuts more high frequency with each successive position.

They also make five-strings now! And they do a variation on the fender p-bass. Go check it out!
He used to have a way more densely populated gallery, but the company's actually getting bigger.
Dude's real cool to talk with, too, not just about bizness but about music, life, whatever . . .
