Chinese Charvel/Baretta Copy: You're Doing It Wrong!

I don't play guitars like this anymore, though I have an emotional attachment to them because of Warren DeMartini's single pickup Charvel's and the original 85 Kramer Baretta.
The whole point of the Chinese knocking off this design with an inexpensive kit is to make money. I get that, and I'm okay with that. But if you're going to do it, will you get the friggin' volume knob placement right!?!!? This is just hideous!

I think that the volume placement is likely the least of your worries if you buy one of those.

Ugggg! This Frankie copy is even worse. They put a volume knob on it instead of a tone knob. I'll bet that ugly PCB circuit board selector switch is even hooked up and functional.

"Please put the volume knob where I will destroy my hand with it on every song. Thanks."

The knob placement could be based entirely on it being the eye of a winking guitar face/panda bear-ish thing.
The humbucker is the nose, the big tremolo is the mouth. The horns are the ears. Now you see it ?
Perhaps designed by the same person as those hello kitty or ladybug guitars rondo used to have.
