Eastwood Guitars...Funky n' cool

[Crankdaddy]

Okay, I know most of us here obviously have a strong preference for the body styles of Jacksons and Charvels. But I'll be the first one to admit that I also think some of those old 60s shapes are pretty bitchin' too. You know the ones I'm talking about: Vox. Danelectro. Mosrite (hey, if it's good enough for Johnny Ramone, it's good enough for me.) Etc.

Anyway, I just stumbled across this collection of guitars -- brand name is Eastwood. They're all imports, but seem to be made well. And the styles/colors etc. are just outstanding. Plus, they're damn cheap!

Check em out:

Eastwood Guitars

Also, check out the rest of the stuff on this guy's site My Rare Guitars It's got some very cool stuff...a fun site to click around in.

As for me, I might be shooting for one of the blueburst Hi Flyers...too cool.

They are made in China. The get really good reviews. I know their archtop jazz line is supposed to be excellent for the money too.

My neighbor and former band mate had one of the Corona T (SG style) guitars with a Bigsby knock off. It was a good enough guitar for the money - he paid about $250 shipped from their demo page.

It really needed new pickups and a lot of the hardware seemed cheap to me. I'm not so sure they're a good deal in the end.
