Sounds as great as it looks. Very punchy semi-hollow tone. Skinny neck.

That is nice, but very unusual looking - including the Vox paddle headstock.  I like it!

Nice looker! Is this a new Eastwood model?

That's because it's based on the old Vox Saturn IV (http://www.voxshowroom.com/us/guitar/saturnIV.html).

I've always wondered what quality these Eastwood Custom Projects instruments are.
Looks nice. Is that pickup at the neck a copy of a Gibson mini humbucker?

I used to have an original, but I didn't like it because the neck was too narrow. And I like narrow Höfner and Tbird necks... This one looks great though!

Yes, an Eastwood. It's my 5th and really nicely built. The pickup is a Hofner-type.
