In the mid-’70s, one of Japan’s most respected guitar factories quietly produced a striking, high-end model that stood apart from the rest. With its dramatic scroll horn, meticulous craftsmanship, and refined fit and finish, it reflected an era when Japanese builders were pushing design and quality to new heights. Made in limited numbers and increasingly difficult to find, it has since become a prized relic of a daring and inventive chapter in guitar history.
The Eastwood SC-550 revives that spirit, honoring the elegance, craftsmanship, and unmistakable silhouette of those originals while making it accessible to today’s players. The sculpted body, refined curves, and confident stance capture the character of vintage Japanese artistry, paired with a rich, articulate voice that sings with clarity and sustain.
The SC-550 is our tribute to a time when builders weren’t afraid to take risks and chase beauty in wood and wire. If you’ve ever longed for a rare ‘70s classic that feels both sophisticated and slightly rebellious, this is your chance to bring that spirit back to life!
