Hello folks,
I have been looking for a new guitar recently. I have been playing a 60s CV Squire for a while, and honestly for the price it wasn’t a bad guitar, played through my current Fender Mustang II.
However it also isn’t my ideal guitar/amp setup, but at the time my budget kept me restrained a good bit. Right now I am looking for a new guitar then I will focus on the amp situation.
Which brings me to my question,
My budget is a bit less restrictive this time around. So I am looking for the last guitar I will ever buy, kind of thing. Something that first of all sounds great, with good quality parts/construction and is nice to the eyes as well.
I have looked at many Jerry “replica/tributes” over the years, and most were so far out of reach financially I just figured it would never happen. However as I started to look for a new guitar recently, I stumbled across what is imho a very nice looking Tribute to Jerry’s Wolf. It’s the one that Eastwood puts out, and in my price range.
I understand it doesn’t look exactly like Jerry’s on the outside, but that’s not really what I am looking for anyhow. Speaking strictly appearance wise I really like it, it’s just similar enough that it’s easily recognizable to any Dead Head. Yet different enough that it’s still my guitar, if that makes any sense (it does in my head and I guess in the end that’s all that matters)
Now that’s out of the way, the more important part, how well are they put together? I know several of you guys got them when they first came out, and I have seen others discussing the different Eastwood guitars they have bought (different forums)
Those of you that have the Wolf version, how do you like it and after how long of playing it? Are the build quality and electronics worth the price?
It really boils down to this,
If like me, you like them visually, are they good playing guitars for the price or should I keep looking elsewhere?
I already talked to Michael, and he can have me one here in aprox. a week if I pull the proverbial trigger. He also said there is a 45 days no questions returns, at no expense to me. Also they do a full pro setup before shipping (though I’m sure some minor custom adjustments will be needed)
Appreciate any feedback on this!
