Kind of looks like the Eastman Hi Flyer (body&neck). Wander if it's the same manufacturer,
and all they are really doing is installing different Badges on the two guitars..... :roll:
make the Mos' of it, choose the 'rite stuff.

Yeah, it does look like Eastwood's Hi Flyer but it could be decent if you customize it.

This is a body-corrected Wilson Brothers VM-75, right down to the "wave" at the top of the headstock.

It is almost the Same as a Wilson Bros. Guitar and is from the same factory. I owned several Wilsons at one time and after some set-up they were great functional Guitars. That being said, there is nothing like the Real thing!!! Once you get a hold of a real Mosrite you'll forget the Cheap Copies!!! Hallmark is the only one close in my humble opinion. :D

Well it's good to see thay finally got the body right. As interested as I was in the Wilson's that body shape put me off completely.
