I've always loved and lusted after Mosrites. This clone is delicious.

I have one of those in a baritone. It is alright, but I'm trying to decide what pickups would make it awesome.

Ah, the return of the Gas thread, this is a welcome sign. Not feeling it for this particular guitar but looking forward to the next edition.

This was my version. It was a MIJ Univox Hi Flyer, like the ones Kurt Cobain liked to use, and occasionally smash.
For some reason, it didn't inspire me to play, and was sold earlier this year. Really odd neck (super narrow, yet chunky).

That is the reason I've never owned a Moserite (or clone) the really weird neck!
Thanks, but no thanks.

I had a Hallmark Mosrite clone. Korean made, fantastic quality. The neck was nice and it had a great vibrato that looked similar to the Mosrite version. I would check into one of those considering the cost of the Eastwood which is WAY overpriced for a Chinese copy with a Jazzmaster trem. The Hallmarks are about the same price. They show up on Reverb.

Update - I see the Eastwood is $549 for the one you linked. The "Pro" version on Eastwood site is $1099.,
