Eastwood Hi-Flyer

Here's a Hi-Flyer in it's natural environment, nestled between a couple of crusty-but-imposing amps.  But wait - a set neck?  A hefty body with fresh electronics?  Why it's not an old Univox at all, it's one of the sweet new Eastwood reissues.  True, the old Japanese Hi-Flyers have their own sleek, super-lightweight charms, but the Eastwoods feel a lot sturdier, while keeping the same Mosrite-derived reverse body style.  Of course, we've got a few of the old ones around, as well - more on those later. 

Eastwood 3P DLX

Here's one of our favorite Eastwoods - it's an Airline 3P DLX, with 3 Humbuckers, a bigsby-licensed vibrato, and a whole lot of volume and tone knobs. Usually, the ones with the black finish ship with a white pickguard, but we just had to ask if they could customize this one a little with some snazzy tortoiseshell.

I think it turned out pretty good, don't you? Remember that tomorrow we're going to have an in-store demo/jam with all the new Eastwoods. The live music will probably start around 2 or 3, so come check it out if you're in the neighborhood.

Kay Flat-top, Eastwood News & More

Here's a new arrival - an old Kay Flat-top with a snazzy red finish, some cool cosmetics, and a couple of serious pick scratches! Overall, though, it's in pretty good shape for an old Kay. Still not sure of the year and model, though it's got 'N-7' stamped on the inside.



That big, bat-wing pickguard is sharp, and check out the nifty dotted binding - this thing would go great with a red & black western shirt.



That headstock badge seems to suggest that this one is a later Japanese model, but we've got to dig a little further to find out exactly which one. But if you need an acoustic with character - here you go! This one was actually part of an ongoing deal - there's more goodies where this one came from!


In other news, the Eastwood guitars have arrived! We just pulled the wrappers off tonight, and we'll be setting up and fine tuning (and playing) these babies for the next few days. But we'll really be having fun this Saturday, with an in-store demo/jam featuring local musicians giving the Eastwoods a workout. Come check it out!

Good News, Everyone!

Big news - the deals are done, and we are now officially a dealer for Eastwood Guitars! If you're not familiar with Eastwood, check out their website here. They're basically on a mission to re-issue all the coolest and most unique guitar models and designs of the 60s and 70s. Airline, Supro, National, Mosrite - Eastwood does a good job of keeping the retro vibe and style of these funky old guitars while making solid workhorse instruments that you can gig with.



Now that order has gone through, the shipment will probably head out sometime this week, and we're aiming for rolling out our first batch of Eastwoods (hopefully) next weekend. We're the first Eastwood dealer in the state, so we're threatening to make a real fuss this time, with some in-store performances/demos by local musicians - check back for details.
