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. | ||

Joined: July 2003 Posts: 3111 Location: Nashville TN. | I bought an Eastwood Nashville 12. http://www.myrareguitars.com/comingsoon2.html I paid $749 with case delivered. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SMNSyKtYfFQ 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. | ||

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. | ||
