They are more similar than different. Slightly better attention to detail on the Eastwood. The H.B. seems slightly more neck heavy on a strap. The sound may be slightly "clearer" on the Eastwood. The H.B. has a slightly chunkier neck profile... What do you think?

Which did you like the sound of the best? (both used exactly the same settings except for bumping the volume up very slightly on the H.B.)

Which do you prefer the looks of?

Do you feel the Eastwood is worth twice the price of the Harley Benton?
