What's up

Eastwood is a guitar company. Mostly. Yes, the company’s full name is “Eastwood Guitars.” Yes, the bulk of Eastwood instruments are guitars, but over the years, starting with the Mandocaster, Eastwood has built an impressive lineup of electric instruments in the mandolin family

General guitar fans who have combed the internet for forums, blogs, and general guitar info may be familiar with the name “MyRareGuitars.” Robinson started the site in the “wild west” early days of the internet, in 1997, as a landing spot for blog posts, shared photos of his personal vintage guitar collection, and discussion from around the world about under-appreciated guitars of the past. 

In 2015, Eastwood owner Mike Robinson approached Dennis Fano with the opportunity to design a more budget-accessible line of guitars, which Eastwood would manufacture in the interest of cost. The resulting models kicked off the Rivolta product line: budget friendly, and expertly designed by a master of the craft.
