Eastwood Hi-Flyer
Here's a Hi-Flyer in it's natural environment, nestled between a couple of crusty-but-imposing amps. But wait - a set neck? A hefty body with fresh electronics? Why it's not an old Univox at all, it's one of the sweet new Eastwood reissues. True, the old Japanese Hi-Flyers have their own sleek, super-lightweight charms, but the Eastwoods feel a lot sturdier, while keeping the same Mosrite-derived reverse body style. Of course, we've got a few of the old ones around, as well - more on those later.
