On my paranoid days I could swear these guys are just trying to bankrupt me… latest news out of the Eastwood camp is that the company is now producing a “Deluxe” version of their already incredibly cool Sidejack Baritone.
Based on the standard Sidejack, which in turn was heavily inspired by the classically funky Mosrite guitars of the ’60s, the Sidejack Baritone DLX looks to be yet another low-cost, high value instrument for those who like to keep things on the down low.
Unique features will include a mammoth 28“ scale length (this baby’s built for ”B to B“ tuning,) an old-school Burns tremolo unit, dual vintage EW P-90 pickups, and of course that funky ”Reverse Strat“ design.
Other specs will include a bound solid Basswood body, bound Maple set-neck, Rosewood fretboard with 22 frets, dot inlays, 3-way pickup switching, single volume & tone controls, adjustable roller bridge and Gotoh tuning machines.
The Eastwood Sidejack Baritone DLX is expected to sell for $579.00 US––case extra.

Yeah, I should see about getting frequent flyer points from Eastwood myself. I am getting another one this week (my fourth), an Airline Twin Tone (Supro Dual Tone replica). I am trading with Mike an almost new Fender Mustang that I just haven’t fallen in love with on the Twin Tone once they have the optional Bigsby installed. I am pretty excited to pick it up on Thursday morning, right from their warehouse 40 minutes away. They really are great guitars for the money and never fail to elicit a response from friends when we get together and jam. Most of them are the type of people who think the only guitars in the world are Les Pauls or Strats. They are great guitars and have set the standard for half a century, I love the left-field Eastwood stuff and they are well finished, and play just as good or better than anything twice the price. Why be normal?
