Fender John Severson Sonoran SCE Acoustic Guitars

Fender John Severson Woody Sonoran SCE Acoustic Guitar

Fender John Severson Surf Fever Sonoran SC Acoustic Guitar

If anyone knows surf guitar themes, it's Fender. I saw these two guitars in the Fender display at NAMM. These guitars are both acoustic/electric and they are single cutaway. The designs are by John Severson, an artist and publisher. Apparently, Fender has a California Series of guitars, and these are the two models for this year. I think they did a fantastic job!

Eastwood Gemini Guitar (Wurlitzer Replica)

I stopped by the Eastwood Guitars booth yesterday, as they have some of the coolest guitars on the planet. The guitar on the left is one of their newest models: the Eastwood Gemini guitar. It is a clone of the guitar on the right: an original vintage Wurlitzer guitar. You will notice several slight differences, but the Eastwood model is much better in terms of playability. And price, too! The Wurlitzer is going for $1100+, while the Eastwood model is right around $500. Way to go, Eastwood Guitars. Another fine replica job.
