Eastwood Deerhoof Term Black On White

Eastwood Deerhoof Term Black On White
Here at Eastwood we have been fans of Deerhoof for many years. Last year we contacted Ed and John to see if they had any ideas for a cool new guitar. "How about a six string version of your EEB Bass?" I loved the idea so we made a couple of prototypes. After many months of back and forth discussions and some great input from guitar tech Ian Bannerman, we arrived at this awesome setup.
Here is what Ed had to say: "I began playing the Airline Tuxedo back in 2009 and loved everything about it. Once Mike contacted us about collaborating on a new guitar there were a million ideas, but the one main desire was simplicity. On tour, we often use a random backline day to day and have very short sound checks. We need to adjust our sound on the fly, deal with bassy Marshall cabs, brutally cutting Vox's, rooms not meant to have music played in them, everything. We tour with one guitar each and limited pedals. We wanted a guitar that could fit our tough touring requirements. What's more, we are immensely picky about our guitar tones. Deerhoof is loud and wild but we want every note to be heard. The guitars have to be powerful but not overpower our quiet singer with icepick high-mids. The guitar needs to project a stripped-down garage-punk sound whether we're playing single notes, power chords or dense dissonant chords. We also need a good "vocal" type to double Satomi's melodies, which we do a lot. We hope you find the new EEG as inspiring as we do!"
