Let's discuss...Wandre Guitars

[dorfmeister]

Eastwood Guitars makes a couple of (somewhat) affordable Wandre models, although they are more Strat-like than the Hofneresque models above.

Reminds me a bit of some of the vintage Burns guitars.

That Eastwood one is pretty cool looking...but there's something about that doesn't sit right.
The colors are awesome though.

Yeah, as cool as the Eastwood Wandre is, i would rather go for the Hopf Saturn 63 resissue (Sorry for the mondo sized pic attached to my post, when I linked to it, the pic just 'sploded to large size).

The local guitar store was an Eastwood dealer for a while and I was really taken by the looks of the Saturn 63......didn't care much for the playing characteristics, though....didn't like the neck much....though for full disclosure I tend to like a super huge neck on a guitar.

I played the saturn once and thought it sounded and played nice but I wasn't such a fan of the looks and it felt too light for me. I may just not be the type for hollow bodied electrics.

AFAIK Wandres are rare and expensive everywhere; the were ever only made in small quantities. which is a shame, because they're some of the most interesting weirdball guitars i've ever seen.
