Eastwood Guitars?

Has Von ever commented on his Eastwood endorsement? I've got one of their Sidejack baritones. Nice guitar, but I think the stock pickups are too noisy.

He's endorsing them? I wasn't aware he's endorsing anything.

These are some cool and unusual instruments though, and some interesting "replicas"...

Yeah, scroll on down: https://www.thesistersofmercy.com/news/livenews.html

They do make some really interesting guitars. The baritone needed no set-up right out of the box too, which was nice. I'm a sucker for weird 60's guitars, and I love that they remake them.

Very interesting!

I think I stumbled upon them when I was digging the net for some Vox Phantom replicas some time ago - which is an all time favourite of mine. In real life I have some vintage Ibanez guitars, which of course is something totally different.

Honestly I never seen or heard anything about Von using some speciific instruments other than on this one page on their site. My guess (but this is a very far stretch) is that he knows them and placed their link on the site as a nod and support. There isn't a mention from him as an Artist on the Eastwood site, though.
