how's quality? sound? neck? finish? etc...
thanks

This last week I've been an Eastwood endorsee. Their stuff is amazing. They've hooked me up with an Airline Deluxe and a Delta and both are really well put together guitars with more charm than anything else out at the moment. I don't know the Supro Coronado but if it's like the two I've got then it's a winner!

You know, I'd really love one. There's a fellah down in Kerry who imports them, Alan. Candyappleredguitars.com

Until I can actually get my hands on one I can't bring myself to buy one. They're not expensive.. but they're not cheap.

Thanks guys, i've made my mind up i'm going to order myself an Eastwood gp, Gold top:D, and i'm ordering it from candyapple red guitars, €663 with a free hardcase and delivery, i don't think i can go wrong. I'll have to wait 2 weeks though as they have to order in the gold top,
come to think of it maybe i should wait untill my leaving cert is over...nah.:rolleyes:

Alanstrainor

Alanstrainor

Not into the gold top myself, but it's a really nice body shape.

Alanstrainor

I'm not at all in to qoftsa i just like the guitar, and i went for the gold to be a bit different, i'm excited now:D

Alanstrainor

Alright lads i ordered the gold one and just got a message to tell me that Eastwood dont have any and i'll have to wait untill at very least September before they got them back:mad:
I'm Just looking ffor a second opinion on the black one? keeping in mind that i'm a blues guitarist and not at all into the queens of the stone age.
i know it's down to taste but sure tell me what yee think:o
Thanks

If you're definitely going ahead with the gp, then cherryburst is the way to go.
This one seemed fairly bluesy too though:) :

The combination of Black and Gold is one is *very* cool!

Perfect for Blues.

Forget about the goldtop - that one is nice!

Alanstrainor

Hey guys,
I got my eastwood gp there last friday and it's great. The neck isn't as fat as a les paul so i find it very comfortable(being a primarily a strat man), finish is very good, with no blemishes or marks to be seen. The neck plays really well with no fret buzz and a smooth rosewood fingerboard.
The tone is really aggressive, it's just begging to be drivin, it sounds very nice with my ts9(drive on zero and level all they the way up). however the neck and mid positions can be really smooth, which is more my kind of style.
The guitar body is not too heavy not too light, it's just right really:rolleyes:, the tone and volume pots are very good also, better than a lot of the more pricey gibsons and fenders.
At the moment i have no reason to fault it, great guitar for the price. Oh and the hard case is quite nice too.
Thanks for the info guys,

Judge2112

Congrats!

Now for the important part: pics!!

Which colour did you get?

Alanstrainor

Hey,
I ended up getting the Black one just for the plain classiness of it. I'll be posting a video up on youtube soon with some nice playing for yas, probably on the weekend, i'll give yee a link when i do.
Cheers
Alan,
