Has anyone plated an Eastwood Delta 6? I'm considering buying one, however; I don't have a music shop close to me that stocks them. Please share any opinion, godd or bad.
Thanks,\

I've got a (left-handed) Eastwood Delta-6. I only got it a couple of months ago but have gravitated towards it quite a bit and enjoy playing it.
It's not really an out and out resonator. It's more of a cross between a resonator and an electric. The P90 pickup on the bridge is really quite pleasant. I was impressed by it.
On the guitar I got, it has very low action and plays wonderfully well (especially for the money). Of course, that might not be the case for all of them. Eastwood has a reputation for having slightly random quality control. Having written that, between me and my 'other half', we've got three Eastwood instruments and all of them has been pretty well put together.
I did have a little bit of a problem with the Delta-6 but think that was my own doing. It was suffering from terrible buzzing on the first fret of the high E. I think that was from me trying to fiddle about at the resonator and knocking the bridge off its correct alignment slightly. After fiddling about with the bridge a bit, it's working fine now. Moral of the story: Don't poke about with something blindly.
If there's anything specific you would like to know about the guitar, please ask away.
Oh, just so you know, it doesn't fit perfectly into most ES-355/Casino style cases. The Gibson and Gibson style guitars have their necks at a different angle to the body. The Eastwood is more of a 'straight line'. If someone is trying to sell you a case for it, ask them to make totally sure it fits.

Oh, and I forgot, Tanglewood makes a suspiciously similar looking resonator which is a little bit cheaper (here anyway). I think the model number is TBS 800 and it 'may' be discontinued but it's worth having a look to see. It looks absolutely identical.
