I donno bout this color... I'm a fan of greens of all sorts, but the color makes the guitar look like an 80s metal guitar. The closeup looks really nice and maybe another pickguard color may look more flattering, but I'm not so sure about this one Eastwood.

That's more of a pedal colour than a guitar colour.

Somehow I get this image of the whole band (incl. drumkit) using the same green sparkle, and everyone wearing mod-style suits and sharp haircuts.

My eyes are suddenly opened to the majestic light. I like the red and seafoam too, but WHAT ELSE would you paint that color? It's dazzling. But it's also like have Doc Martens in that color that you don't end up ever wearing.

IN fact, my big complaint is that crappy ho-made pickguard.

How on earth did Eastwood end up calling their products Airline?

Did they buy the name? Did they just trademark something that was out of use?

That guitar is cheesy, most Eastwoods are cheesy and overpriced. If you could find one used they're ok, for the retail prices I don't recommened them to people.

I love the color, just not on that guitar. I agree with roachello that it makes it look like an 80s metal guitar.

I like it! It reminds me of apple bubblegum, I'm always quite fond of garish colours.

The two knobs nearest the neck pickup have to be there to piss you off by getting in your way and knocking plectrums out of your hand. There can't be any other purpose.

Scrolling through the 'hue' bar, pretty much any colour works on this guitar except 80s green. Somebody needs to buy the guys at Eastwood photoshop so they can try this stuff out before they spend a load of money on paint.

Question;

How are the Eastwood Hi-Flier copies, I've always liked that guitar. Would the Univox be alot better?

i dont even need the white witchhat...that could stay black with everything else white and it would be 100 times better.

neon green + white parts ftw
