"I love the tele bridge pickup paired with the P-90. The non-offset body is super comfortable and the C+ Satin neck feels similar to my Novo. The single pickup JR version is also super fun!"
-Wes, Operations Manager
"I’m perpetually in love with anything from the Warren Ellis series - the Warren Ellis Tenor Baritone was my Eastwood gateway drug! The 25.5” scale is beyond fun to play. I love the minimalist controls that force you to get your dynamics from your fingers, unless, of course, you opt for the killswitch. "
-Ellen, Brand Experience Manager
"I’ve dug the Model One starting from when Jeff designed this as a handbuilt model and, while I was excited about the first Eastwood version of it several years ago, this new Korean production has really stepped things up! I’m having a hard time deciding which is my fave – the hardtail with vintage output Humbuckers or the DLX with vintage output P-90’s."
-Chris, Business Manager
"While it feels like it’s been an Eastwood model for years, the EG-P90 only began shipping at the start of 2024. It’s a bit of an outlier, being the only fully-hollow 6 string we make, but boy does it do the job well! It’s a no muss, no fuss tone monster - it plays and sounds exactly as you’d expect."
-Vince, E-Commerce Manager
"I’m a sucker for anything with glitter or sparkle, and paired with the vintage inspired design it looks super cool!"
-Troy, Content Creator
"I’ve been looking forward to a Mondata bass for years and this does not disappoint. It has so much low end thunder!"
-Fred, QC Tech
"I've been a big fan of our Mad Cat series since we released the original Prince Model a few years ago. I've also been a huge Police fan for decades. When we came up with the Mad Cat AS version, it scratched both itches to the bone. We nailed the look for sure, but with the multiple tone options you get from Eastwood's custom Trans Warp Drive onboard boost combined with phase switching it quickly became my go to guitar for all kinds of genres. "
-Mike, President
"This is an incredibly fun and unique design while still being very comfortable to play. P-90 neck and Humbucker bridge has become my favorite combo!"
-Nathan, Final Inspection Clerk
"I've always been a fan of the other Warren Ellis models but there's something about the simplicity and minimalistic design of this model that really appeals to me. You have the added bonus of the pickup essentially being wired straight to the output so you get that raw, bitey, path of least resistance tone out of this thing. Also, pictures don't do that Sumatra Blue finish justice, it looks amazing in the flesh."
-Matt, Customer Service
