I got the 2P DLX and replaced the humbuckers with the “vinatage voiced single coil” pickups offered in the accessory page of eastwood’s website. I was worried about the short scale but it feels great.

Sound : 10
The guitar sounds freakin awesome!! I am a huge Jack White fan and wanted a close replica of his guitar. With the vintage voiced single coils eastwood offers, the Jack White vibe is definitely there. Eastwood claims to have opened up the old Airline pickups to replicate the pickups. And it sounds like they did a great job! Even if you don’t care for Jack White’s music/tone this guitar is wonderful for blues, rock, country, you name it. Oh and it’s a great guitar for slide. Id just finished playing my Gretsch Power Jet and then picked this up and the difference was clear. The Airline sounded and felt better with the slide.

Action, Fit, & Finish : 10
This guitar came better setup than any previous I’ve bought. My two Gibsons, the gretsch, strat, schecter, none of them came better setup. Everything was great. The action was low and it was even in tune.

Reliability/Durability : No Opinion
Can’t speak for this, but it feels like a well built, sturdy guitar.

Customer Support : 10
I’ve e-mailed them a number of times with stupid questions and they have gotten back to me the same day every time. The order was processed and the guitar shipped out right away with 3-day select UPS, without a hefty shipping fee.

Overall Rating : 10
This is a wonderful guitar. It looks and feels great. It’s incredibly comfortable sitting or standing. I’m going to have to seriously look into some of Eastwood’s other guitars. I sure as hell don’t NEED anymore guitars but I am very impressed with this one!
