Re: Got a massive gear-boner for this thing
Yeah, something tells me I'm not gonna find a lot of support here -- this being the land where blues rock fuddy-duddies battle it out with Aging Ass-Metallers -- but I figured I'd share anyway.
I'm not that put off by the price. It's cheaper than most Korean-made guitars these days, and exponentially less than the American version (~$3K) it's based on. And honestly, ofther than the kinda bleh color, I like the details on this version more than the original. But as recently buying both a mandolin and a synth (which...okay....a little hipstery...), I need to lay off for a bit.

Ah, gotcha. Yeah, $4200 would be a bit much.
I'm waiting to see what the second color option (available if it reached 200%) ends up being. Eastwood's weird: for all their funkiness, they typically play it VERY conservative on color.

Surf would be okay. Yellow could be very cool, though I admit I hadn't considered it previously.
Me, I've got my heart set on them borrowing Metallic Marguerita from the Warren Ellis Tenor model:

Im thinking would could start a new word. I took what you said in your title and tried to make it alil more... um....friendly... How about : gearection??
As far a the guitar. The body looks like a Robin ranger, with a fender jazzmaster trem and I cant think for the life of me where that straight headstock was used...??

Gearection's not too bad. I tried to portmanteau it a bit, but I couldn't come up with anything.
I'm not familiar with the Robin Ranger, but a quick google search suggests that they look moch more like a Fender/Squier '51 than one of these.

Re: Got a massive gear-boner for this thing
Eh, maybe a bit at the lower horn. Add in some TV Jones Spectrasonic around the back (and with the way the pickguard sits) and you'd be on the right track, though I can't think of anything else that suggests a straight line across both horns in quite the way this one does.

Ain't a thing wrong with a Jazzmaster trem. Now, the traditional Jazzmaster bridge, especially in combination with the traditional Jazzmaster string break-angle.... THAT'S got some serious issues.

Re: I am quite smitten with this guitar, if I may say
I had an AVRI JM for a few years and hated many (most) things about it, but really didn't have any issues with the trem. Maybe I was too busy being annoyed by the 7.25" fretboard radius, the overly bright pickups (even after I switched to Antiquities), the bridge that could NOT hold on to the strings, and the completely unresonant body.
Really, for me, trems (I'm just gonna keep doing that, btw) are mostly just decoration. Just ask the Bigsby on my Artcore. Which is two parts decoration and one part thing-that-makes-tuning-unstable.
Also...trem trem tremolo, trem trem tremolo!
