'New brand' brand archtops on ebay

Does anyone have any experience of this brand from China? New Brand 18' AAA Hand Carved Archtop Jazz Guitar In Sunburst | eBay

They look pretty good! (Not a fan of sunburst sides and neck).
Made in China I assume? (Which is by no means a bad thing)

If you search using the listed business address in your favorite search engine, you fund a number of guitar auctions of different styles and brands In the UK, AU, etc. Also selling on Alibaba. Musoo and Batking brands, among possibly others.

Beijing Palace Musical Instrument Co., Ltd. - electric guitar, acoustic guitar

I am guessing that they are the manufacturing source for many of the kit guitars that you can buy on eBay. Also, looking at various photos, I wonder if they are not the manufacturer behind Phred guitars and other made-in-China-but-branded+elsewhere products.

Welcome to the new brand. The same as the old brand

The shape of the neck coming into the nut looks a bit iffy. As if they were going to make it a wide nut but and then shaved the neck down out down at the last minute for a narrow one.
Unless my eyes deceive me.

Good eye there. More visible in pic 7.

It appears they are taking inspiration from Eastman guitars as the shop is called Eastensound2018.

The guitars themselves look great, and if they are built to the same standards as Eastman guitars, they should be tremendous guitars (not just for the money).
