GL, love the use of the word “dross.” I’m going to borrow that one from you.

Perhaps Paul McCartney should get one of those Mandocasters. Or perhaps not if it encourages him to churn out more dross like “Dance Tonight”.

I’ve never seen or played an Eastwood but they look great and I love the offbeat designs. The Joey Leone model is really impressive in the video at Eastwood’s web site.

The Mandocaster looks like a very cool instrument, but I have way too much to learn about guitar to start trying to play a mandolin…at least for now.

I currently own three Eastwoods; an Airline 2 pickup in black (the Jack White guitar), a Delta 6 and my favourite of the three, a red Supro Coronado reissue. The Supros, to my understanding when I last talked to Mike Robinson, are no longer being made as Supro USA did not renew the license with Eastwood (Supro USA are now making high end reissues of the Dual Tone and Ozark), so they are bound to be somewhat collectible in the future. From what I understand, what is still left of the Supros with the dealers are the last ones. Eastwood’s warehouse and original dealer is about 45 minutes from me here in Canada, so I head up there every couple of months to see the new stuff in person. And I can tell you, the guitars look even more fantastic in person. As a sidenote to this, Mike Robinson owns the Airline name and trademark. As Cary once said, my favourite new vintage guitar company and one of the best bangs for the buck in guitars, but I am a bit of a non-conformist, so I like the oddball stuff.
