[bobbytouche]

Yeah, I thought about that. I want to get in touch with this fella also and compare the differences. http://www.mandolincafe.com/forum/sh...just-strung-up!

Here's my Eastwood Warren Ellis tenor in action, being played into a Vox amp.
I get a great tonal palate out of this tenor by working with the tone and volume knobs.
This continues to be a "Go To" instrument for me...Might be the best $500 I ever spent!

Hi,

It's been awhile since I've posted hereabouts, but have recently purchased one of these from 555 Music in Melbourne, Australia, after suffering a serious G.A.S attack based on the strength of this thread and some of the clips featured on Youtube.

Looks-wise it's stunning and only slightly smaller than a regular guitar - I've since swapped out the pickguard.





However, it's the strangest sounding instrument I've ever amplified. The problem is that I'm actually struggling to find a place for it sonically, as I mainly play a 6-string electric guitar these days, but have ordered "Rockin' Mandolin" by Bob Grant, in the hope that it will help fill in some blanks. Nonetheless, a solid 7 out of 10 for this little axe.

Here is our cover of CSN&Y's Ohio (an audio-only YouTube recorded on a band member's iPhone).
I'm playing my Eastwood Warren Ellis through an AnalogMan Maxon SD-9 (used as a clean boost) and Visual Sound GarageTone Oil Can Phaser into a Fender Super Champ XD amp. (Since the phaser is engaged, I'm the one providing the warble )

I have seen this instrument referred to in other forums as "The Rasputin Tenor Guitar".

I love how easy electrics are to set up.

I bought a couple of the Eastwood e-mandolas, converted them to tenors, one in CGDA and one in GDAE, and I bought the 4 string e-mando too. I've had lots of fun with those three. Thus far, every instrument I've bought from Eastwood has been a winner.
