History:

Perhaps the most successful guitar from German manufacturer - HOPF – it was originally produced in 1963. Featuring metal piping for binding on the body and f-holes, the distinctive look landed the guitar in an advertisement for the famous Star Club in Hamburg. In 1992, it was featured with Robert Smith in The CURE video, FRIDAY I'M IN LOVE.

Artist Quotes:

"Guitars from the 60’s really give the sense that we were inventing something new - not yet shackled by electric guitar conventions. Take that vision and put it with something made and finished extremely well, and you have an Eastwood Guitar - a guitar for non conformists." _Andy Gill, Gang of Four
"My Eastwood EUB-1 Fretless Bass has timeless qualities about it, both in design and sound. Unique qualities that inspire.” _Mick Karn
"My Red Airline DLX showed up yesterday, I have not put it down since. I haven't slept, all I am doing is playing this guitar. The craftsmanship is exceptional and I can no longer imagine playing any other guitar." _Rich Kolodzie
"My Eastwoods are so beautiful I had to go back to my tailor and have my suits re-vamped, if only suits could sound as good as these guitars" _Chris Difford - Squeeze
"I've been touring for the last year with the AIRLINE and the ICHIBAN. Of all the guitars I have, these are the ones that I'm always asked about. I'm a big fan of Mike's commitment to unusual & great sounding guitars, and he makes them for lefty's!" _Dean Tidey, FEEDER
"My TUXEDO is simply one cool piece of wire and wood. It’s an inspiration to my song writing and truly a work of art. Bravo!"
_Stan Ridgway
"I've always been into 1960's kooky & unusual guitars - they look good but they SUCK. My Eastwood AIRLINE is kooky, but you can actually play it! What a concept!" _Earl Slick, DAVID BOWIE
"I've played many live shows with the Eastwood Delta 6 - in England and America - everybody asks me about it. People really love the sound. The guitar looks so unusual, it always gets compliments. Success!" _David Pajo
"I like the bizarre and wonderful. The Eastwood series never fails to please - people can't work out what it is! Eastwood is destined to become a household name!" _Boz Boorer, MORRISSEY
"When Mike told me he was going to start manufacturing the Eastwood line of "bizarre" guitar reissues, I knew we were all in for a treat, and as I expected, they don't disappoint!" _Matthew Sweet
"So many guitars these days are ludicrously expensive - you'll find Eastwood's are extremely well made, professional quality gear at a very affordable price. I own an Ichiban, Tuxedo and EEB-1 BASS. They offer us lefties an amazing selection - I'm sure there will be a few more in my future!” _Elliot Easton - The CARS
"As a 12 year old, I was blown away by the exotic designs of Wandré, Hopf, and Teisco. They embodied the electrical essence of rock n' roll. Magically, my Eastwood Guitars remind me of just how I felt outside a music shop back in the early '60's, and confirm just why I fell in love with electric guitars in the first place." _Bill Nelson
