I don't like how they look. I in no way see those as a replacement for a Mosrite.

I listened to the sound samples. To bad they didn't.

The guitar looks find for $500.00 doesn’t sound unreasonable. But it was played through a '67 fender blackface amp.

Of course my dog would sound good through that amp. Laughing Laughing LMAO I crack myself up!
Seriously
It will definitely get you started. Especially if you like it, that's all that really matters anyway.

I had purchased an Eastwood Hi Flyer as a backup guitar to my Jag. I chose it because of the price, the pseudo short scale and because Michael and Eastwood said it could handle the 56-16 strings I've become accustomed to. It had a very chunky neck, the trem was not as smooth as a my jag. The p-90's tone was a bit muffled out of the box so I bypassed the tone knob - much better. I eventually got rid of it because the neck was so different from my Jag - it made switches mid-set a bit too radical for my meager playing abilities - and I bought a Jagmaster, but the jury is still out on that too, even after installing coil splitters on both pickups (via push-pull on volume and tone pots).

very well reviewed in the UK on a value for money basis. I've got another Eastwood guitar, but I've never played it : ) Can't sell it either.
