clarkuss Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 Eastwood guitars are cool. I "dig" them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Summerisle Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 Well, Epiphone chose to pull the Elitists, and apparently lost all interest in the "more than $1000 but a lot less than the cost of a Gibson" market slot. You can't blame other manufacturers for aiming at it instead. This Eastwood received a good review in Guitar Player this month. Beautiful looking thing too... And just look at the spec... Model Name: JOEY LEONE SIGNATURE RBC Price :$1199.00 US History The only thing traditional about this guitar is the body style - Flamed Maple Top, Back and Sides - Semi-hollow Bound body top and back, bound SET one-piece Mahogany neck - Mother of pearl inlays and giant E logo - three custom made P-90's with coil taps give you 27 useable tones. Includes Deluxe archtop hardshell case. Colours: Tobacco Sunburst, Natural, Optional BIGBSY Body: Flame Maple Top, Back, Side, Center Block Neck: SET One Piece Mahogany Fingerboard: Rosewood, Mother of Pearl markers Scale Length: 25 1/2" (648mm) Width at Nut: 1 11/16" Pickups: Three Custom Kent Armstrong P-90's Switching: 27 Positions, On, off, Coil Tap Controls: Master Volume and Tone Bridge: Tune-O-matic Bridge, Signature Trapeze Tail, (optional BIGSBY, $129 installed, see Accessories) Hardware: Grover Imperial Tuners Strings: D'Addario #10 Case: Deluxe Hardshell Case INCLUDED Unique Features: 27 Unique Tones, 9 Humbucking Positions Epiphone might have to wake up one day. They can sit and hope that customers will happily fork out $699 for the newly-cheapened Sheraton and its ilk, and perhaps they can keep on making money that way... But their competitors are turning out product of this quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axe2Grind123 Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 I don't like the giant 'E' on the headstock - is that the best they could do for a logo? Other than that, it's very nice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unreal77 Posted April 15, 2009 Author Share Posted April 15, 2009 the inlays are beautiful. The giant "E" and the bottle opener dont make it for me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lpfan Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 I had heard of these guitars before but had never saw or heard what one sounds like. I really like it. I liked the headstock minus the big logo. Looks like a pretty nice guitar. I don't know if I would pay that much for a guitar by a lesser known brand but if I played it and it just felt right, I suppose I just might.

timandbob Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 Looks nice (except for the "E" and the headstock). I always reserve judgment until either I play it or someone posts up about playing it. Here's another from PEERLESS that is currently interesting me. I wonder how this one sounds and plays. It reminds me of my old 1975 Gibson Les Paul Signature Hollow Body that I had when I was in college. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
