You're asking people for help - at least make it a bit easier for them by putting the pics in the thread.  It's not hard ...

Based on that then I reckon it must be a Gibson

The bridge and tailpiece are inspired by Zemaitis. The pickups are inspired by Danelectro "Lipstick" single coils.

The battery compartment implies either a switchable signal booster device, a built-in noise canceller or a piezo transducer for faux acoustic sounds.

Probably a repair performed in a hurry at a gig because the original screw hole was torn out. The correct solution is to fill and redrill.

Gary Levinson/Blade design HQ was in Switzerland. The guitars were actually manufactured in Japan.

Never seen anything like it before.  Presumably it is some obscure Blade model, but I can't imagine the bridge is original, surely Blade/Levinson wouldn't copy something so quirky and distinctive.

There appear to be three holes in the backplate which would correspond with the EQ trimmers on a Levinson VSC circuit - which is active. Those three holes are the only thing apart from the logo which makes me think it has anything to do with Levinson at all... although I could be wrong.

The wonky tuner is *very* un-Levinson though - unless it's been knocked and then refitted wrongly.

I think the pickups, scratchplate and control layout do have a slight whiff of the Levinson "modern take on something classic" aesthetic.  But it is quite out-there.

It depends on which image host you're using, and also whether you're using PC, Mac, iPad, phone or some other device to use the forum - but there are help threads that cover most options.  Essentially you just need the address of the image and paste it into the text box here using the little page-turned-down icon on the textbox menu bar.
