“This is a laminated top guitar and should not be more than $750”. I don’t have any comment on the Doral pricing, but there isn’t anything wrong with laminate tops, esp on electric archtops. It’s a lot more durable than a solid top. The Gibson ES-175 is laminated (approx $4K)…

This guitar reminds me of the Epiphone Swingster.

Wow,this time you and your staff have really made a two for one guitar. Can’t wait to find a dealer in my area and give it a test drive myself.
Congrats are in order and Wendell your demo is awwwe-some. I know Scotty personally and while he hasn’t been feeling well,I’ll bet this would put a smile on his face. It did mine, for what ever that’s worth.

Hi Wendell. Whatever she sounds, it’s good recording and the Guitar looks beautiful!

Nice looking guitar – I did a bit of custom wiring on my Peerless (AKA Gretsch White Falcon), except the pickup volume controls push/pull for series/parallel coils instead of shorting one coil for a single coil (P90) sound. Then I added a small switch to bypass the back coil (“P90”) mode on each pickup, adding even more colors to the tone, I also like the bridge pickup a bit back from the bridge – easy to do without surgery – just flip it so the screws are on the forward side of the pickup. (The single coil switch bypasses the rear coil of the bridge pup and the front coil of the neck pup)

A plywood top is OK, solid spruce is better – and can season into something wonderful, like my 1955 Synchromatic. This is a laminated top guitar and should not be more than $750, even with the pickup switching and pretty binding. A neck glued from three pieces is NOT a selling point. A one piece neck is sonically superior but more expensive to make, (but also a less efficient use of maple). Finally, the gleaming glasslike finish is beautiful, but a lighter coating lets the wood vibrate more freely and makes an instrument more acoustically responsive. OK for an electric, but guessing the unamplified tone will not be very warm. Imagine the sound of a fine French-polished classical guitar, and one painted with a heavy coat of orange lacquer.

Love it, could be my second Eastwood guitar 😉

Mike, there’s any chance to add a Bigsby?

Best regards from Chile,

Hey Wendell, beautiful guitar- smooth demo. You look great by the way! Could they ‘mike’ the semi-acoustics and just hear them ‘as is’ in future demos?

Very nice! I’ve always loved the L5. What finishes will this be available in?
