I just bought an Eastwood Sidejack 12-string electric. It definitely has a different sound than, say, a Rickenbacker 12, but the difference appeals to me: a more metallic sound I guess, which produces a lighter, more rockin' "jangle" than the Rick's distinctive tones.

Or so it seems to me.

Anyway--anyone else own an Eastwood? Thoughts, opinions, etc?

Got the envie real bad for an Airline Mandola. No reason -- I can barely plink out a few chords on my el-cheapo mando -- but damn that thing looks cool. In Seafoam Green, even

The body of my Eastwood is based on the Mosrite Ventures Mark XII Model 12 String, a guitar from the mid-1960's. The technology of course has been updated.

I bought mine because I wanted an electric 12-string, but I didn't want to go the Rickenbacker route (another guy in my band already has one).

I also got $100 off because it's a B-stock, with a scratch that I have been unable to find.

I played it with my band for the first time today at our practice, and we were all drawn to it by the different sound it produces compared to a Rick-12. A bit more rockin', a bit less chiming than a Rick.
