Eastwood Sidejack DLX Sunburst 2011
Eastwood Sidejack, sunburst, made in China 2011. The Sidejack is Eastwood's update on the classic Mosrite Ventures body shape. You get the cool wacky shape, with it's German carve body and Simpsons headstock, but with some mod cons like a tune-o-matic bridge and standard size P-90 style pickups. It's easy to play and holds tune nicely, which isn't always the case with proper 60s era examples. Heaps of fun and suitably quirky!
