It's like knock off air jordans from wal mart in the 80's.

Haha! I actually like Eastwood guitars, I own a delta 6. a nice guitar for a good price. It’s just that the silver neck is like NO!

I wanted a warren ellis tenor, but that is awful enough that I don't want to give them any money to empower more of that

Eastwood Guitars: let's paint the neck silver to make it look real!
I bet it would be fairly cheap to order an acrylic white cover that would hide the painted parts of the headstock, and that there would end up being a nice looking guitar.
I bet you could even get it etched with like, "Stiffwood" or "Eastboner" or something for not much more.

I dunno. The body shape sets my teeth on edge. Either do an actual copy or do something completely different. That just feels like they used a sketch on a beermat. It lands in "Yamaha Pacifica" territory for me - you know what they were aiming for, and understand why it looks the way it does but....

I’m fine with Eastwood guitars, I just think that neck is silly. They might as well make a Dan Armstrong model and paint half pants half t-shirt on a wood body, for the see through effect.

The body shape is correct: this is the shape of the first TB500 guitars. In fact, it's the only correct part of the Eastwood tribute...
Jerry Garcia's TB500:
Rory Gallagher's TB500:
