Legendary guitarist John McGeoch contributed to many bands such as Magazine, Siouxsie and the Banshees and Public Image Ltd. His melodic style often flanger-laden, influenced a whole generation of post-punk, new wave and beyond and this Eastwood McGeoch 1000 is a tribute to the guitar closely associated with him-- the Yamaha SG1000 from the 70s and 80s.
Underneath its rich tobacco burst is a solid mahogany body and carved maple top and when I say carved, it’s got curves all around, including the horns. On the back, it’s all black while a tummy cut keep the guitar close and comfortable. This Eastwood tribute has a set neck, not a neck-through like the heavier 2000 models; it is under 8 lbs and it well balanced with or without a guitar strap. The C shape mahogany neck profile is nice and familiar and uses a Pau Ferro fretboard. Putting the finishing touches on this classic design are split arrows on the board and a flower pot inlay on the headstock. The 24 ¾ scale and 1 11/16” nut width is met with the traditional tune-o-matic style bridge and the Wilkinson tuners tune up smoothly. Electronically, the McGeoch 1000 has a simple 2 vol/2 tone and 3-way switch with 70s voiced Humbuckers, with a crisp top end and much hotter bridge pickup at that measures around 12k. This very photogenic guitar comes with an excellent setup from Eastwood and the fit and finish are top notch, especially for a guitar under $1000.
