Booooooo!
liveatsixMemberKyuss’ Welcome to Sky Valley
liveatsixMemberSkip the Stereo and go for the Deluxe. The Neo would be just fine if you be short of cashola.
Here’s a handy webpage…

liveatsixMemberAwesome. Thanks.
liveatsixMemberWhich setting is it for, Q or Drive, (or both)?
liveatsixMemberNope, it’s one or the other.
liveatsixMemberI forgot to mention that I’d like the depth knob on the tremolo to be the full range, without the modulation past 2 o’clock.
liveatsixMemberAll I’ve been using for the last month or so is a plain jane Vox wah.
liveatsixMemberStanding by for this “memory man news.”
liveatsixMemberI think a Micro POG will be my next aquisition. After that, probably nothing but strings and picks. I’ve got everything I may ever need.

liveatsixMemberIt was a long time ago when I tried both the HG and HG+ out, and I went with the HG+. They sounded pretty much the same, with the + having the extra features of room reverb and the amount knob. The amount knob was the deciding factor for me. I also liked the smaller size.
liveatsixMemberI’d say a Twin Tone for “around” $400 isn’t a bad deal at all (new). That’s $100 cheaper than what I’ve seen listed around the innernet. The pickups are unique… ceramic, if I remember right. Find a slight flaw or two and haggle. I’ve found more than a few places that will work with a customer to to some degree so they can move inventory in this poop economy.
Now if you find a Town&Country;Deluxe for $400, you let me know.
liveatsixMemberI have had quite a lot of playing time on some Eastwood models, and for the money they are alright. I’ve played on a P-90 Special, Classic 6, Nashville 12, Tuxedo, Dual Tone Airline, and some other solidbody models including the Mandocaster. I used to own a discontinued Savannah for a couple of years as something to fingerpick with.
They are a good little company and I like that they are offering affordable and improved versions of the old classics. As for quality, it’s a so-so effort. They look good and seem to be put together well for an overseas contract. The neck joints are tighter than I’ve seen on some other brand’s multi-thousand dollar models. But they skimp on the finishes and the hardware is rather flimsy. The wiring and electronics are not good, with the exception of the pickups. With all the variety they sport, all the Eastwood pickups are outstanding. I’ve also noticed that every single pot hasn’t been screwed in all the way.
If you are looking for a hollowbody, I’d buy an Ibanez Artcore instead.
Invest in a all new hardware, wiring, and electronics (save the pickups) on a solidbody. -
