I know a couple of us here ordered one of these, but I can't remember who- anyone receive theirs yet? |

Mine arrived. Haven't been able to plug in yet, but build quality seems damn good. The neck is really thin but plays nice. Here it is: http://imageshack.com/i/plBwTtyrj |

Looks good. No pickguard? I was gonna remove it first thing. How's the gig bag? |

Gig bag is like any shitty bag you'd get at Guitar Center for 20 bucks. Guess it'll do the job in a pinch. |

That is a NICE sunburst! |

Post subject: | Re: Eastwood Saturn IV |
It really is. I'm pleasantly surprised. I have a buzz around the 7th-8th fret area on the D string, but right now I'm chalking it up to crappy strings. Neck seems fine. |

That looks awesome! Cool saddle. Looks like it's coarsely adjustable for intonation with maybe some small parts to keep an eye on when changing strings. |

The bridge is almost identical to a Höfner, except there are Allen screws for height on the bass & treble side. Intonation should be no problem, just like a Hoffy. |

Ah. I've never handled a Hofner. |

Post subject: | Re: Eastwood Saturn IV |
When I was looking at the blueprint on the site the pickup looked Hofneresque. |

Yep it is Ronn. I'm toying with the idea of installing a second one with Cavern spacing, but who knows... |

That Sunburst is beautiful! It's way nicer than I expected - it just glows. Mine's due Monday |
