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

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.
