Andy could probably make a baseball bat with rubber bands stapled down it's length sound appealing, though.

Not saying these are bad but I've had a couple Eastwoods over the years and they were almost always much better in theory than in practice.

I think Shadow said it best about Eastwood guitars when he described them as "funny shaped Epiphones". Except most Epiphones are also better quality.

INB4 I harp on about Mike Robinson being an arsehole who doesn't rate his own product. Would never put cash that tool's way.

You'd be better off looking at the Hallmark models.

You could probably get a vintage Univox for less. I did.

There really is an unbelievable amount of markup on eastwoods. I don't understand why they cost so much yet they don't even feel as nice as a squier bullet.

Some Eastwoods were sold under the Alden brand. For about Â£100 at one point. Also, the Firebird copy was available in the Gould catalogue for years before Eastwood changed the headstock and sold the exact same guitar in different colours for almost Â£150 more.
