Looks cool, but seems like lots of accidental switching might happen while playing.

I own a TG-64. Less than half the price of the Eastwood, and a beautifully made guitar, not to mention a 50 year old vintage instrument. They're welcome to their knockoffs.

quick reverb and ebay search shows their prices are now between 600-1000. There's pros and cons for both reissues and originals, vintage Teiscos especially tend to be very hit or miss these days, though I don't doubt it's possible to find a nice playable one.

Are they actually gonna make it like that, or are they gonna make a Jag with Strat pickups and a hole in it?

That Teisco is great, but I am astound by the prices on them nowadays. 4-5 years ago all Teiscos were under $300 on ebay. Most of them were $150 - $200. Same with all Kays, Harmonies, etc.

6 years ago Gibsons that were produced during the Norlin era weren't considered vintage and were priced same as new Studio models. Blooz lawyers who didn't consider them proper guitars nowadays owe them and say that actually there are a lot of buttery toanz hidden inside the generally cursed Norlin wood

Seems like everything that is old is growing in price, no matter what it is

I have a vintage jar of treacle from a time in the early 70s when Ferranti needed to send some tins of touch-up paint to Russia and the cheapest way to buy small tins was to buy tins of treacle and empty them.. I don't think it's appreciated in value significantly.

I think we should wait for another 5 years

Very Cool! Vintage good looks with modern dependability.

Modern funny shape with Epiphone dependability.

Would be cool if they did the Bass VI version too, but given the whole kickstarter campaign for this one I bet that'd be a ways away.
