Sound

I CAN'T BELIEVE THE SOUNDS COMING OUT OF THIS GUITAR. THE OUT OF PHASE SWITCHES CREATE A MULTITUDE OF SOUNDS. I HAVE PLAYED THEU SEVERAL TUBE AMPS AND ONE SOLID STATE VOX. MY STAGE RIG IS A MESA NOMAD HEAD THRU A MARSHALL 4 12 CAB WITH CELESTION VINTAGE 30'S. YOU CAN GET SINGE COIL AND HUMBUCKER SOUNDS DEPENDING ON THE COMBINATION OF PICKUPS AND PHASE SWITCHES. MY FAVORITE SETTING IS ALL THREE PICKUPS ON WITH THE NECK PICKUP OUT OF PHASE. I HEAR THREE SEPERATE SOUNDS AND HARMONICS AT THE SAME TIME WITH THIS CONFIGURATION. AMAZING. WILL USE IT AT A GIG THIS WEEKEND.
Action, Fit, & Finish
:
No Opinion
THE FINISH WAS FIRST CLASS. SETUP IS ON THE SPOT. GREAT SHINE AND BEAUTIFUL WOOD GRANE. HARD TO BELIEVE THAT THIS GUITAR IS FROM OVER SEAS.
Reliability/Durability

THIS GUITAR SHOULD BE FINE FOR GIGGING. APPEARS VERY TOUGH. I ALWAYS BRING TWO GUITARS IN CASE OF STRING BREAKAGE.

TALKED TO MIKE AT EASTWOOD BEFORE ORDERING AND HE WAS VERY HELPFUL. HAVE NOT HAD ANY DEALINGS WITH CUSTOMER SUPPORT AS I HAVE JUST PURCHASED THE GUITAR TWO WEEKS AGO.
Overall Rating
:
10
I HAVE BEEN PLAYING SINCE ABOUT SINCE ABOUT 1972. HAVE A COUPLE AMERICAN STRATS, ONE PRS, GIBSON LES PAUL, CARVINS, WOLFGANG, GRETSCH.
I WOULD DEFINITELY BUY ANOTHER IF STOLEN. MAY BUY ONE ANYWAY AS I FEEL THAT THESE WILL BE COLLECTABLE. I LOVE THE SOUND AND LOOK OF THIS GUITAR. WORTH EVERY CENT.
