Here's the link.

It's got a 24 inch scale.

so many knobs and switches...

I wonder if the Eastwood dealer around my work has any of these.

If it had singles I would sort of dig it. I like the jag trem on it.
Too many switches though.

yea, that jag trem is nice. they need to stop fucking around and just make a jaguar

Unlikely

"IMPORTANT: LIMITED EDITION PRE-NAMM RELEASE. If you want one, ORDER YOURS TODAY.We only have 16 of each color available, the rest are going to the NAMM Show in January. Next production scheduled for April 2009."

Eastwoods are so heavy. It's really a shame. I would love one of the Airlines, but it's almost as heavy as a LP.

Eastwoods suck. Seriously, they're overpriced as hell and they are shitty as hell. The shop right around the corner from my band's practice space has tons of them and they are about on par with the squier affinity series, which is not bad, but for almost 4 times the price of an affinity squier, that makes them shitty as hell. Basically just think of them as a squier affinity strat but just 4 times heavier, 4 times as expensive, but in the shape of a cool looking vintage guitar.

They do kinda suck - the necks are really weird. The shop by me had a '65 airline and a couple reissues. The neck shapes were almost the same, but the new one was way less comfortable.

i think this guitar looks shitty. it looks like something ace frehley would play in a sunday morning cartoon about Kiss.

They are ridiculously overpriced.

The best ones I have played are decent if not generic.

I think it was Shadow who said they were nothing more than funny shaped solidbody epiphones, lol.

Fuck the neck and definitely fuck the headstock. The rest of it is awesome.

i don't like the shape... they have good looking guitars, here they are really expensive and hard to find, i would like to try some

What's one of those then?

Man, call me "Old School", but a Jagmaster (or Jagmaster II) does *not* look like a partially exploding star.

I think he was asking what denotes a Jagmaster 'II'.

Oh...my bad.

The "II" (I think) denotes that it was made in a communist factory in Red China, as opposed to being crafted in a democratic (and presumably unionized) workshop in Japan.

Oh, you mean Jagmasters, more commonlly called 'Jagmasters.' I see.
