Gibson? We do.

D'Aquisto? Also can.

D'Angelico? No problem.

Monteleone? How many you want?

Benedetto? We happy to please.

Eastman? You no want that shi-te. Try Yunzhi/Yolandateam.

Great post! LOL, Yunzhi puts on the clear platform heels and cheerfully does as told!

I ordered one and am halfway through the wait. All-acoustic, nitro finished, 1-3/4 neck, with a cutaway. I mailed them some Waverly tuners and good strings to put on it (since their tuners are regarded to be mediocre at best) and they acknowledged receipt of same, and they actually seem to behaving perfectly normally so far. I went through the spec I sent them a zillion times, and hopefully I didn't forget anything. Will put up pics the day I get it!

Hofner.

Last time I checked, my Jazzica had a 1 3/4" nut. I doubt it's changed. Having said that, I measured my Taylor 512C and GA5, Jazzica, and Tacoma PR12. All claim 1 3/4" nuts, and all varied a bit. String spacing at the nut also varied.

They're not -- the point is that they are made in the same factory. You can have the Eastman design and logo put on, or you can have your own design and logo put on. In either case, the woodworking will be brilliant, the fret job pretty darn good, the electrics pretty darn shabby.
