I didn't realize until I followed your link that these are really being offered on the Eastwood website right now. I guess it's really happening. It's one of those things that makes you go hmmmmmmm. Dale, how is your Sidejack DLX? If I got an Eastwood, that's probably the one I'd want. Although from what I've read, the tremelo isn't a very good one. | ||

Made in Korea....However I Just don't have a reference point to measure to the original..... can not believe Fender did not jump on this and resurrect the line | ||

That might not be what the current 'production' Eastwoods look like. | ||

I have to make the safe assumption that the originals all just went up in value at least a couple hundred bucks, whattya'll think about that? heh heh! Would be great news for me if that's true! I would already sell at a profit as it is on all my Deacons and Breadwinners... but NOW... if I can get a cool couple BENJAMINS more on each one over the next couple years as I sell? Whoooo Hoooooo will that be total sweetness! Heh heh! (Pipe dreaming, again - I can't HEP' it!) In any case I hope Mr Ovation can make some extra "dollas" on dem' NOS parts! That would be sweetness too! Good luck brother! Interesting nonetheless! All the best my friends! MJK | ||

Joined: December 2008 Posts: 249 Location: Seattle | Here are the measurements of the Eastwood Breadwinner which I hope someone will compare to the original. 40.74 from headstock to tail 18" body long, 14.75" wide 26.5 inside nut to outside of tailpiece. Fret-board 19.0 long | ||

Joined: June 2007 Posts: 3084 Location: Brisbane Australia | The only difference between the Eastwood measurements quoted and a real one is the overall length. A Deacon is 40" long. All else the same. The "Celebready" Proto, as Woody calls it is the same as the original. AJ | ||
