Location: Keepin' It Weird in Portland, OR | I think that I would rather find a Real Breadwinner before I spent a thousand bucks on a clone... :rolleyes:
But if I ran across an Eastwood for cheap, I would definitely buy one.
But since I haven't played one, I cannot say if they are worth $949... :confused: (or $749 on sale?)
But they do look cool. I wouldn't mind having a wood-grained one.
(But I just had that photo from another thread) |

The designers ought to be proud that people still want to buy their nearly 40 year old avant garde creation and that they a really comfortable to play. The Eames chair of guitars. |

The sounds correct through a fender tube amp,
I have a Champion 600. I can wait to plug it in the Fender Twin.
Its made in Korea with Ephiphone like quality.
Basically I try to buy American whenever possible,
but the cheapest new American Hollow 12 String
was $3500 so I bought the import.
The same thing happened when I wanted an American solid body 12. Gibson wanted 5 grand for Les Paul Classic 12. I found a used Epiphone Les Paul Classic 12 for $400 used. |

Seriously, though, anyone who actually owns an Eastwood, please post reviews. I know they are cheap imports, but they look so cool. There are a few I wouldn't mind trying just because they are so funky. And IMHO you have to love that somebody makes a COPY of a Univox Hi-Flyer. |

Location: Scotland | There was a sample on display at the NAMM show. Seemed well put-together. Legalities aside, while originals seem to be readily available and can be had for less than the projected street price of this, I can't see the point. |
