Eastwood Guitars releases the limited edition Classic 12, a 12-string semi-hollow that features a flamed honeyburst finish.
These cool looking 12-string electric guitars are now shipping and they are available on a first come first served basis.
As expected from Eastwood Guitars, this limited edition 12-string electric packs a lot of vintage vibe and aesthetic punch, and they do this without having ridiculously high price tags. They seem to be able to provide features and embellishments that are normally only found on more expensive instruments.
The body of this semi-hollow 12-string guitar is made of laminated maple, featuring a flamed maple top that gives the guitar its earthy look. The body and the two f-holes are both bound for added aesthetic effects.
The guitar features a set neck that is made of maple. The neck is topped by a rosewood fretboard with mother of pearl shark’s teeth inlays that serve both as fret guides and as eye candies. The neck itself is also bound, which highlights the shape of the guitar and adds to its vintage appeal. The guitar has a 24.75″ scale length and has a nut width of 1 7/8″.
Capturing the tone of this semi-hollow guitar are two EW-Retro humbuckers. The pickups are switched via a simple 3-way pickup selector, and it has two volume knobs for each pickup and a master tone knob. Other features of this instrument include Gotoh style nickel/chrome hardware and a fixed Tun-O-Matic bridge.
