Like the idea, but I've never played an Eastwood, so :shrug:. Not to mention at the expected street price ($800-$900), I would probably invest a little more into a used Gibby, Heritage, etc. If I want P-90s in an import semi, I'd go about $600 less and go A**** :wink:.
 
I've said it before, and I'll say it again. The letter "E" on the headstock needs to be bigger. Otherwise I like the look.
 
As with most Eastwoods, you'll probably have to replace the pickups.
So I just can't see paying that much for something I'm going to have to modify.
And all the switching looks really cool, but isn't really practical for me (it also makes getting new pickups an even bigger problem!)
