Members GuyaGuy Posted March 7, 2007 Members Share Posted March 7, 2007 i've been playing one as my main axe for the past 2 years now--the Guyatone LG200T remake. love it. it needed some upgrades--pups, nut, a good setup, etc.--but nothing that you wouldn't need to do to a mexican Fender or Epi or Agile. they have 2 sources: korea and china. Mike from Eastwood (great to work with btw) said in an interview that sub-$500 guitars are from china; the rest are korean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members angus_old Posted March 7, 2007 Members Share Posted March 7, 2007 they don't always use the 'correct' woods for their reissues but i have only heard good things about them. i want a ichiban but $800 is too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Fast Frets Posted March 7, 2007 Members Share Posted March 7, 2007 Played 'em NAMM and they were terrific! The workmanship seemed very good and I thought that I would like to own one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jasonfuzz Posted March 7, 2007 Members Share Posted March 7, 2007 The ones I've tried are alright. Probably need to upgrade and have a good setup but they're nifty guitars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mr.Kickass Posted March 7, 2007 Members Share Posted March 7, 2007 a lot of the professional reviews ive read indicate there are a lot of small finishing/ cosmetic imperfections on most models. they also still indicate, that for the cost, they are still a very good deal. ive had my eye on the ovation ultra gp remake for awhile...

Members Mr. Poopsicle Posted March 7, 2007 Members Share Posted March 7, 2007 I played a Mosrite (?spelling) Eastwood copy at House of Guitars and was really digging it. It played fine and was really impressed with how good the neck felt. It was really cheap $250 I think, if I'm back there with cash to blow I'm getting it. Oh yeah, I was also floored that it had a bigsbyish type trem that kept the guitar in tune after more than one shimmy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members fatbackribs Posted March 7, 2007 Members Share Posted March 7, 2007 I'm so gassing for one of their Stratotone reissues: I tried one at Namm and the huge chunky full-scale neck felt great. Also they have swimming pool routes under the guard so thowing in a full sized 'bucker or two is a definate possibility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members gorebuc Posted March 7, 2007 Members Share Posted March 7, 2007 I tried the LP special double cut thing...it felt ok, about as good as an Agile Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Wilbo26 Posted March 7, 2007 Members Share Posted March 7, 2007 There's a dealer for them nearby...all of the ones I've played, albeit briefly, felt like good quality guitars, and the sales guy there said they were generally really nice guitars for great prices.

Members Mr. Poopsicle Posted March 7, 2007 Members Share Posted March 7, 2007 I should really get one of those guitars considering I'm less than an hour from Axe and You Shall Receive and Eastwood guitars headquarters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
