paul_5 Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 Looks a little unorthadox, but Brian Eastwood makes exceptional instruments. He's also really good at making other manufacturer's sh*t ones sing just a little bit more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't believe it was still playable in that condition. [/quote] Apart from the missing 13th fret and the rather bent 14th, I don't think that there is anything that would actually get in the way of being able to play it. It did come up for sale a few years ago, but the price was too high for me to buy essentially as a joke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
