US Masters Guitar Works?

I found a guitar recently at Parkway Music in Clifton Park NY - it is a US Masters Guitar Works Guitar. The store labeled it as a "tele" style - although it only somewhat fits that description. I snatched it right up because I fell in love with it on so many levels. After doing a little research on the company online - I have found that they seem to still have a website along with ordering info... however there's talk on the internet that they are no longer in business..?

Since this is a used instrument - I wanted to see if I could learn more about it via its serial number etc but am coming up short....

I would buy another one of these in an INSTANT!!!!

Is anyone else here familiar with these guys?
