NBD Eastwood Saturn IV lefty
« on: February 08, 2016, 12:10:35 PM »




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.

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.
