Re: Eastwood's cloning the Gospel Mark "IV"
So after playing this for a week or so I've noticed that the zero fret is the same size as the other frets, so you get a bit of buzzing and not enough string height at the first fret.

Shoot. I guess that's another one of Eastwood's quirks, maybe some of what I'm about to say is old information but they have had a reputation for having issues here and there from the factory. For $600 you'd expect them to get the zero fret right.

Will be posting the new Hallmark Gospel model soon! Ours will have the correct pickups and vibrato and is branded with the official Gospel logo. It also comes in a brown alligator Gospel case all for $999.00
I will post the pics of the prototype very soon. These will be in stock in the next few weeks.

Yeah they always have had these issues even though they are on the higher end of affordable guitars, which is a shame. They've definitely improved over the years. If I had paid the $600 instead of the $450 I think I would be more upset. I knew I was taking a gamble on it.
