where can you find the Eastwood Corona SG at? I have a dealer here in Chapel Hill but became one after Eastwood stopped making them and can’t find one either on google or ebay.

Wow! Thanks for setting me straight Cary!

Fortunately I’ve been able to distinguish between my Gibson dishwasher and Gibson guitars… the dishwasher has a whammy bar rack!

Ah, you’re probably thinking of Brian Eastwood, the UK luthier who makes the Distortocaster ( http://www.brianeastwoodguitars.co.uk/index.html )

Eastwood Guitars is a Canadian Company that produces re-issues of old, classic, funky guitars like Moserites, Nationals, and the like. ( http://www.eastwoodguitars.com/ )

It would be very easy to confuse the two : ) Eastwood Guitars are a bit more conservative than the Brian Eastwood models, but still pretty cool in a more retro kind of way.

What were these guys thinking, both having the same name? Hehe ; )

Hey Cary,

This stuff is pretty conservative for Eastwood! I like his Bender Distortocaster, the Jellycaster and the VOX guitar with the amp shaped body.

Hehe… so true! Perhaps I’ll have to reconsider my stance… I’ve always stuck to writing about six-strings because that’s what I know about, but maybe I need to branch out now : )

You deliberately do not cover basses? That makes me sad. Basses are guitars too!
