Members GaijinGweilo Posted January 10, 2009 Members Share Posted January 10, 2009 i'd buy that if it were mounted on an SG body instead of a tele, i don't really know why...(possibly because i already got a tele but not an SG.. & probably also something to do with ACDC).

Members LeftyTom Posted January 10, 2009 Members Share Posted January 10, 2009 There is just something wrong about a Tele w/one pup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mr_GoodBomb Posted January 10, 2009 Members Share Posted January 10, 2009 Love it. Probably a tapped humbucker or something similar to the P-rails. It's set neck, too, which is great. I hate that set neck teles are always gaudy and non-traditional (which I said in the last thread). There is just something wrong about a Tele w/one pup They've got a name for those.

Members Brian Krashpad Posted January 10, 2009 Members Share Posted January 10, 2009 Meh, that big black thing is ugly, Does not want. But danke, Rainer! How you doin? Been to Chung-wah lately? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members thrashmetl Posted January 10, 2009 Members Share Posted January 10, 2009 It's awful!!!! I've owned 3 Eastwoods, all very nice guitars but Mike went wrong with this one. The headstock is MUGLY and that pickup just doesn't fit the history of that shape. He had a proto of that thing at last years NAMM that was awesome, it's was pretty much a bound Nashville Tele. This is just all kinds of FAIL!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members ArKay Posted January 10, 2009 Author Members Share Posted January 10, 2009 Intriguing guitar for sure... Maybe they will be selling the pickup separately? Tones are pretty awesome!!

Members Brian Krashpad Posted January 10, 2009 Members Share Posted January 10, 2009 The wife has been staying with me here in Germany since mid-December. Sehr gut! Give your lovely bride my best and tell her Brian Krashpad says Ni hao! This of course, will only confirm her suspicions that you are deranged, however.

Members 59refin Posted January 10, 2009 Members Share Posted January 10, 2009 I love how the advertising blurb says no one ever thought of a pickup with 3 different sounds. Vox Virage, anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members belief bone Posted January 10, 2009 Members Share Posted January 10, 2009 sigh, how long do we have to wait for the 2 pickup version? make a monolith pup with jazz humbucker sound, p90, and strat neck sound to match that bridge and it will be a ridiculously good guitar you KNOW this model is already in the works... so I can't spend money on the bridge only version cause its just a matter of time.... I love how the advertising blurb says no one ever thought of a pickup with 3 different sounds. Vox Virage, anyone? or the duncan p-rails, which isn't even that old for goodness sake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Grantus Posted January 10, 2009 Members Share Posted January 10, 2009 Intriguing guitar for sure... Maybe they will be selling the pickup separately? Yeah, the pickup is made by a separate company, so I'd imagine they'd sell it alone as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Splendor Posted January 11, 2009 Members Share Posted January 11, 2009 And where have you been young man? Well, it's a long story... I bought three houses on interest only loans in late 2006 with the idea that I could flip them and make some sweet, sweet cash. I was going to use the profits to fund my life-long dream of building the world's largest replica of the Mall of America made completely out of cottage cheese. Unfortunately, the bubble in the housing market burst, and I had to resort to renting the houses out to some Moroccan entrepreneurs who used the houses to stage a series of less than legal hobo vs. animal fighting events. After the fights were busted I called my accountant, Bernie, to cash out my investments so I could put them towards my legal fund. Turns out he was a little more concerned about his own legal fund. I just logged on to see if I got any emails from a Nigerian Prince while I've been away and thought I'd drop in here to see how everyone else is doing.
