    Cool, but let down by the crap bridge and the neck pickup not being fitted to the pickguard.

    I *think* I like them, but I'm really not sure. Nice to see some original design that doesn't look like it originated on the Klingon homeworld though.

    I said maybe.....

    I can’t help liking them, people laughed at Leo Fender after all. I bet that those Goldfoils sound amazing.

    Yeah, that's his designs as realised by Eastwood, to a budget. His originals are more of a piece...

    It looks like a 1950s "atomic age" imagining of the Jackson Roswell Rhoads.  With a dollop of Burns Flyte.

    Minging, but at least it's something different.  Some one is bound to love em.

    There is something awkwardly feminine about them.

    I kinda like them, I think. 

    Totally makes me think of the jetsons though.

    It might help if the word next to the selector switch was legible.  I've tried zooming and I still can't make it out.

    Although it may just say "selector switch" in some mysterious language.

    Ah, is that an "N"?  The nearest I could get was "Plaitegetet" although Plantagenet did actually come up when I googled - but not in relation to guitars.

    The DLX Eastwood/Backlund models are well specced. I have a couple of them.
