those eastwood guitars have some interesting body styles; it's too bad that the airline will forever be associated with jack white.....instantly making you the target of white stripes comparisons.

I don't know . . . once upon a time PRS guitars were associated pretty closely with Carlos Santana, then they started showing up in metal bands and such . . . kind of an image makeover.

The price on this one

makes me want to check it out. Looks like it could be a pretty sweet buy. Plus, it's looks are pretty far removed from the Forever The Guitar Of Jack White Guitar 9000 model, so the comparisons would likely be few if any (thank god).

They all are cool looking guitars. They're kinda glammy in sound and look. I kinda dig them since they remind me of the Teiscos and the Univoxes. Im just a proponent of any guitar that strays from the typical strat and lp-style shape.

It's about time someone has brought the pawnshop style back. Aside from the Ibanez Jet King and the Italia guitars there has been too much sameness in body styles and wood. The prices seem pretty reasonable too. If you become a well known "star" one of these could be associated with you!

I really like the look of them. But do they feel solid, or do they feel cheap?
