Let's bring it back again! In 2016 Eastwood introduced the Marksman 5, a tribute replica to the ultra-rare 1957 Magnatone Mark V designed by Paul Bigsby. The Eastwood Marksman 5 replicated the vintage original in almost every detail, but as with all Eastwood models there have been some solid improvements.
“The ’57 Magnatone is one of my personal faves in today’s vintage market, but unaffordable to most" said Mike Robinson, President and founder of Eastwood Guitars, "therefore I wanted to make a replica that did it justice and the Marksman 5 nails it.” The initial 2016 release was only 48 pieces.
