Anyone own one? I like the style of some of them and I have always wanted a Mosrite but not willing to spend the money on one. Some of these Eastwoods have a similar look.
Anyone know the quality on these?
I've got an Eastwood Warren Ellis tenor. Fit and finish are pretty good and it came set up well. The neck feels good to me. I didn't love the rail pup it came with, so I replaced it with a Bill Lawrence Twin Blade, which is fantastic. Weakest parts are the pots, but they were easy to replace. All in all, a good deal for the money.
I have a Tuxedo that I bought used.
Can't say a bad word about it.
I don't own one myself, but one of the most amazing live bands I've seen up to now (several times :)) is Calexico. Their frontman Joey Burns is using his Eastwood for ages now. And those guys know what they are doing. All of them are very talented musicians and multi-instrumentalists at that.
Are you sure that's a replica by Eastwood and not an original vintage National "Map" guitar?

I saw Calexico in the nineties, when Eastwood didn't even exist yet, and he was already playing that guitar.
But I could be wrong.
I am thinking about one of their Baritones or 12 strings.
So it's good to hear good things about them. I may take the plunge here soon.
I have a white Classic 12. The only thing I don't like about it is the plastic pickguard. I tried to get a replacement made in brass, but never got a reply from tone-guard.com.
