Hey Mike
Theres a guitar that looks a lot like the Eastwood for sale on Ebay at the moment. Seems to be a copy made by a company called Harlem. Don't know much about them. Pretty cheap and could be useful if you wanted something to get your dimensions from (if you can't get plans for the Eastwood)...

Thanks Darren, I missed the close time by several hours but I don't believe it sold so I might contact the seller directly, and yes, it does look like a copy of the Eastwood 2P./<\\/p>[]<\\/p>/Quote from Analyst69 on June 22, 2013, 23:26

Ok, I took a year off from building because I got distracted by some other projects but recently pulled it back out of the box and finished it. Works perfectly apart from some fret buzz on 1st and 2nd by the nut but going to leave it a few weeks under string tension before messing around with it.
Here's a closeup of the paint job prior to screwing things together (Ignore the dust on the left)...
And here it is all working
