They don’t ‘feel’ like quality guitars and (IMHO, anyway), hardware, etc seems quite cheap.

They played below average and felt like toys.
It might not suit everyone, but it suits me, so....:p
I recently took an Eastwood guitar in a gear exchange deal. The looks are bold and distinctive but some critically important parts of the guitar were, frankly, not finished.
For example, the fret heights and ends were all over the place. Either the fingerboard has shrunken severely or the final Q.A. inspector is in want of a straight edge and a fret rocker tool.
The electronics are cheap ‘n’ nasty. (Not necessarily a bad thing.) At Squier Affinity, JHS/Vintage and Harley-Benton prices, this would be forgivable. At an MSRP over £800, it is not.
Having said all that, I am in the process of performing some sick/expensive modifications to my Eastwood.
EDIT #1: Eastwood guitars are made in China.
EDIT #2: £800 is pre-owned American Fender, PRS S2 and Gibson money!
Ignore earlier comments!
However, a few years later, I bought a set of their Mosrite-alike pickups from them (I was building a Mosrite baritone) and received about the worst customer service I've ever had. The Eastwood guy (not Clint, just want to err slightly on the side of litigious caution) knows his guitars are trash, talks about them in much the same way, and is happy to speak to his customers that way. Avoid at all costs.
(the Aria Mosrite copies are very good, if that's some small consolation).

They do a Microfrets-alike which is pure sh*te.
