Really tho, what's up with that silver jacket?

It's like he was one step ahead of Corgan... again.

Worth mentioning that Iron Butterfly uses the same model in tobacco sunburst color on In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida. So this guitar has got double allure and it's not exclusively a Cobain poseur guitar.

Iron Butterfly played mostly Mosrites and this guitar is Mosrite copy. Do you have a link to this video.

Beat me to it I was just going to post this^

That doesn't look like a similar quality build to me at all...the body looks smaller and the bevel around the outside is a hard edge, pickguard is wrong (and slightly funny looking), standard boring humbuckers, recessed neck bolts, angled headstock instead of Fender style, etc. Not saying that it's a bad guitar---if they were sold in the US I might get one---or that the Eastwood is worth the extra, but IMO it looks like a cheap copy. The Eastwood version could be a reissue.

COMEDY FACT: they were also selling baritone versions of these; I know this because I very nearly bought one. So bad were they that Thomann ended up selling them off as being purely decorative and for display purposes only. Really.

That said, I'd play the shit out of that white one - I'm sure any hassles they had have been ironed out. Thomann are good.

I imagine they have.
One of my friends has a Harley Benton bass guitar, quite respected as one of the best bass players locally, he prefers his to his old Fenders.
Suppose it's hit and miss at times.

Dead link with comedy crossed-out musical notes symbol.

But still, buy that white one. Tempted myself.

Wow, that's honesty

They make several guitars that are tempting.
