Eastwood Joe Maphis Copy

[101Volts]

Looks like Eastwood just released their smaller Joe Maphis copy. It comes in Natural, Sunburst or Black.



The body looks smaller than the Mosrite model.

Well, it's not going to sound the same even if you put similar pickups in because of the scale length and it doesn't have a zero fret so the open chords are going to sound just a little different. I'm not saying it's bad but there you go.

I won't be too surprised if we see them release a Blues Bender copy, too.

Eh just like with everything from Eastwood none of it will be correct.

They quality and overall QC hasn't seemed to improve at all. For the money you can get a Hallmark which is leagues above.
