Anyone own an Eastwood Airline steel?

Would like some feedback on this axe from owners.

Thanks

I played one a little at the NAMM show yesterday and it's pretty nice. As an Eastwood endorsing artist myself,I've been trying to get Mike Robinson to come up with an 8 string - specfically a Stringmaster replica but I think the worry there is a Fender lawsuit. It wouldn't be beyond the pale however to make a 2 or 3 neck National replica since the companies are out of business and he's already making real nice copies of National and Supro guitars w/no legal issues. For those who don't know,Eastwood http://www.eastwoodguitars.com/ which is out of Toronto,takes those old 60s cool looking but more or less unplayable Teisco Del Rey,Supro,Valco,National,Mosrite,Burns and a few others designs and makes very nice modern versions that are built way better than the originals ever were,play great and stay in tune.If you want to get off the Fender/Gibson clone bandwagon and try something unique,check it out.

Thanks Michael! The six is perfect for what I want. I went ahead and ordered a black one from Elderly.

Haven't heard anything bad about them so far.
