I really like this. But I have heard it said before that Eastwoods feel like toy guitars. Can anyone elaborate?

[myrareguitars]

not sure who would say that, we have plenty of PRO players using them, from REM to John Fogerty, etc.

Novice?..I don't think so. Old fart yes!! I've been playing since 1970, so I do know a bit about classic guitars and amps. I agree a Fender Twin is very nice...never played a horse's ass though. You say you can tell a Korean guitar by the neck feel? Very clever. There's actually an easier way...it says Made In Korea on the sticker which tends to give it away.. Not that it matters in the slightest. The Eastwood Messenger is a really good quality instrument..

The reverb amp has nothing to do with it. I got my Messenger today and its a really nice guitar. There's nothing whatever wrong with the neck..the fretwork is particularly good and the finish on this guitar is excellent. The Eastwood Messenger is a lovely replica which really captures the look and general vibe of the original without any of the problems. I've played some nice guitars in my time and this is a peach.. I'd thoroughly recommend it to anyone whatever their style.

All their other guitars are 4 or 500 bux...But all of a SUDDEN this one is, like, nearly a GRAND...What is it, a Gibson? LOL

I love this guitar. I only wish it was just like the original that Mark Farner played.

@myway43 Maybe some of the old ones but so do other oversee random guitars. From my experience Eastwood are cool and quality instruments. -PK

i love that Mark "Grand Funk Railroad" Farner trademark guitar! =0D

Could you please make a little quick tab for the riff you are playing till 0:07? That sounds awesome! :-)

The perfect Beatles guitar.

@notfragile33 I looked on brokenbricks and what it is, is a 1950's Kay archtop. Kay used to be a department store(as far as I know they've shut down, I haven't heard of the brand name for quite a while). Kay sold a lot of guitars like this for quite cheap, and Jack had received one as payment from his brother for helping him move. Jack uses a Big Muff frequently live and on recordings, at least with the White Stripes.

@moomanns It looked just like an extra large Messenger, but as close to a Messenger as I've seen anyone else play. Sort of like a large semi-hollow Gibson with no cutaways, but very similar sound to a Messenger on the fuzz

@notfragile33 I think Jack was playing his Harmony guitar for that one

[notfragile33]

I think I saw Jack White from the White Stripes playing something that looked similar to this recently--he was playing "Seven Nation Army", and getting the same kind of fuzztone sound. Don't know if it was a cheaper imitation of the 'real thing'
