Thanks for posting this Rev!
I've been away from this forum and the net for a while, up to my eyeballs in work and projects like this.

Link's spirit is very much a part of this new project. We wanted something with some attitude.
I started out just building one for myself with some old Supro and Guyatone pickups but then Mike from Eastwood saw it and said "Wow, let's build that" and so here we go.
The manufacture on this project will be of a slightly more professional quality this time, from a Korean plant, in fact it's the same plant that produces Reverend guitars and many other, much more expensive brand names.
I was surprised that they were offering it with a bigsby option as well, pretty cool.

Here's the link if anyone is interested in taking a look, see what we're up to.

It sounds great in the video, even with the mini humbucker.

Always think it's hard to find a new angle on guitar design as there's SO many guitars out there. But Jeff always finds a way to hit the button. This is a great looking guitar.

I don't know... kinda looks like it's just an altered Twin Tone model.

METEOR IV on reverbnation

Man, Eastwood's got some great looking guitars out. Do any of you have any first-hand experience with them, in terms of quality and craftsmanship?

I know what you mean about the twin tone but I guess there's got to be some reference points. I thought it had its own vibe. Or is it a wonky les Paul?

Thanks guys.
This build was actually inspired by the different variations of the Supro Ozark with a little Guyatone LG-50 thrown in. The Eastwood Twin Tone is a copy of a Supro Dual Tone, a very similar guitar to the Ozark.

I had an early one, an Eastwood Sidejack, so I can't say if the newer ones are as badly made. I certainly hope they haven't got any worse.

There is a concerted effort on Eastwood's behalf to raise the quality of their products, especially over the last year and the specimens I've had the opportunity to get my hands on, specifically from Korea are well made instruments.

That is a very nice guitar!!!It sounds great!What can I say about Jeff?He loves what he is doing for sure...

Brian and james14000 - thank you for your support and kind words.
It means a lot to me.

We recorded a band demo with the guitar and an Eastwood Saturn IV Bass and a couple of the Crazy Aces guys played on it with me.
I'll post a link when it's up for anyone interested.

Fair warning - it's not Surf music but it's a garage-y sounding tune by Joe Jackson and I thought some may dig it since the Aces guys are in it.

Brian - FWIW, I'm not trying to market here, just share with friends but if you ever feel a line has been crossed or these posts are irrelevant in regards to the site then please feel free to let me know.

Cheers,
Jeff

Hey Gang,
I just thought I'd mention that we're at it again with Eastwood, this time offering The Model T.
It's our Model One guitar in a hardtail T-style configuration.
I've always loved Tele's, they are to me one of the most versatile guitars so I wanted to bring those sounds and versatility to the Model One shape.
It's also one of the most easily modded platforms for player personalization which is fun as well.
The pre-sale is available until July 19th at eastwoodcustoms.com.
Same deal as last time, $150.00 down, $699.00 total and the guitars should ship in November.
The Model T comes in Sonic Silver and Metallic Red. Lefty's are available as well.
Here's a demo of the talented RJ Ronquillo taking it for a spin: https://youtu.be/e3cHcGCUHS4

Thanks for taking a look and once again, thank you to all that have encouraged and supported me and these projects.

Cheers,
Jeff

And 113% funded as of the time of this post. Congrats, Jeff! I love my Model One. I expected to like it, but wound up really surprised at how well I wound up bonding with it.

I can't speak to the playability of these guitars (only because I've never played one!) but I've always been gaga for the overall (somewhat space-age, somewhat minimalist) design. So clean looking, and just something about the interaction between the body and pickguard contours. The choice of selector knob is also pure genius. No doubt the Model T will make the same splash the Model 1 did last year!
