Eastwood Guitars announce the introduction of the new Eastwood Marksman 5 guitar, a tribute replica to the ultra-rare 1957 Magnatone® Mark V designed by Paul Bigsby. The Eastwood Marksman 5 replicates the vintage original in almost every detail, but as with all Eastwood models there have been some solid improvements. A major upgrade over the original Magnatone is a modern adjustable roller bridge to vastly improve the setup and intonation. Features a comfortable lightweight tone chambered mahogany body, 24 ¾” scale, 22 fret set mahogany neck, rosewood finger board and a pair of custom designed EW Alnico SCP90s pickups.
“The ’57 Magnatone® is one of my personal favorites in today’s vintage market, but unaffordable to most. Therefore I wanted to make a replica that did it justice and the Marksman 5 nails it” (Mike Robinson, President and founder of Eastwood Guitars,)
