Sounds amazing! the VVSC pups have a great range from sounding fat to thin. Playing through a Marschall JTM30 Valve amp. Probably one of the best sopunding pickups I've heard. I have had RICS, Gibson LPs, Fender teles and along with my Jazzmaster this guitar really hits the spot - but without any bridge hassles and buzzes.
I play a lot of alternative stuff, but also rock, indie etc. I use EHX clones, stones and memory men. Muffs, DS2 and Dr scientist effects. the 59 Customs tone really sings through my pedals - sounds dirty one minute but super clean and tight the next. A compressor on this would really blow me away... that's why i have sent for one! :)
Action, Fit, & Finish

Set up great, I didn't have to adjust anything at all.
Finished really well. Electrics perfect.
I think the custom additions were added in Eastwood's Canadian cutom shop... saying that i think it would have been a really nice touch to have a Custom 59 stamp somewhere; on the truss rod cover maybe, to seperate it from the standard model ..but just nit picking here.

Built to last - can't see why I won't have this when I'm old and grey. Although i'd probably dye my hair to keep that edge!
Customer Support

I've been playing for 20 plus years and this guitar has really surprised me. I usually go for USA made guitars for quality etc but was getting bored of the same old models being re-vamped over and over, so I went for something different. I like the White Stripes but it was more the style of the guitar that got me onto it. I'm so glad i did!
Dare to be different, because this guitar is amazing!
