Thread: New Eastwood "Duo-Sonic" Style Tenor Guitar

  1. #1

    Default New Eastwood "Duo-Sonic" Style Tenor Guitar

    Eastwood is funding a Duo-Sonic configured (2-single pups) tenor on their Warren Ellis rig. 9th fret marker, individual switches vs. 3-way, and I'd imagine wide string spacing. Costs more than a Fender.

    Switching: Individual on-off
    Controls: 1 Volume, 1 Tone
    Bridge: Fully adjustable Tele-Style bridge
    Neck: Maple, Bolt-on
    Fingerboard: Rosewood, Dot Markers
    Scale Length: 23"
    Width at the Nut: 1 5/16
    Hardware: Kluson Style Nickel/Chrome
    Strings: GHS G.042, D.032, A.018, E.011
    Unique Features: Warren Ellis Signature Design


    Bouzouki/OM/Mandocello players: Can anyone please help me understand why Eastwoood uses a 1-5/16" nut width on their 4-string instruments and a narrower 1-3/16" on their 8-strings? To me that should be reversed.

    Thanks

    I really have to give Eastwood credit for making a variety of tenors that I almost want.

    I wish they did have a little competition though.
    I picked up the WE 2p the other day... and nope... I just cannot bond with that wide neck. I get that it's cost effective for them to build this way, so non-wide neck versions are not so likely of the mustang influenced models... but it would've been nice to have been asked doncha think...

    I believe that's how Warren likes his tenors - it suits his fingerstyle. Now I love that man and the Bad Seeds without him would be like a broken pencil (pointless) but 'by 'eck I can play fingerstyle on my Gibson archtop and that's insanely narrow
