The picture looks fairly cool, but I kinda think it's the comic book style drawing that's selling it for me. It would be nice to have an actual prototype guitar with pictures before they put up a pre-order, but oh well...

It would be nice if people could still have confidence in Eastwood putting out a decent guitar, but oh well.

You understand these go for $1149 while the stuff in Aliexpress is cheaper than Squiers, right?

I kind of like the designs, but man, I hate those colors... why that odd faded colors transparent burst thing? These would look so much better in more classic metallic or glossy colors.

Nope, I didn't know. But, then again I wouldn't encourage fakes either, ymmv.

^Bet you didn't know those "Aliexpress" factories also produce for the big OEMs then? And yes, my mileage does vary from yours.

Tbh I don’t have any faith in Eastwood at all anymore :) it’s honestly almost a wonder to me that they’re still in business after all these years, who buys these?

Kinda looks like an offset take on the "Jackson Roswell flying V" aesthetic.
This is an excellent rectangle

It went from 13% pledges to 138% pledges in a day.......

I looked for the the Jackson Roswell V but couldn't find it... IMO it looks way better than all the other Jackson's on their website though...

I know nothing about Eastwoods.. I don't think I've ever seen one.. Other than that RJ guy playing them on YouTube... He seems to make Eastwoods sound good though.....

I don't care much for the colors either.....
