Since the wildly successful launch of the Backlund series of guitars three years ago hundreds of fans have been asking for a tremolo model. That time has finally come. John and I are very proud to offer this stunning Backlund 400 DLX - featuring the Duesenberg Tremolo System.

The Backlund 400 DLX is a joy to play... when you have something that looks retro, yet modern and avant-garde, you can't help but want to play it. I did a demo to illustrate that point: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=caeb5b_d7Dc
I put together a sampler of various preamps and distortions while incorporated three different guitars (two Eastwood-Backlund models).

I recently purchased a Backlund 400 DLX in Teal.
Was able to negotiate a very nice discount on it as well.
Eastwood was very ewasy to work with during the purchase and shipping process..
Before the Guitar & case could be shipped, I needed to fill out some special customs forms and send them to FedEx to certify that this shipment contained no illegal substances, etc.\
I did not know about this before hand, so it delayed arrival by a couple days.
The guitar and case arrived in two...

I have mot paid for my guitar in full just yet, due to it being on back order for quite some time.
It is ready to ship and things have came my way causing me to have to pay it in installments.
I just want to say thanks for working with me to get it paid off!
I cannot wait to get it shipped and play it.
Thanks again for being patient.

The guitars I ended up with are spectacular - Between the Duocata, Mondata Baritone an Hooky Bass 6 Pro I have three absolutely outstanding instruments - They are 'mine,' and they are 'home.' When I pick them up they give me the same thrill as some of my best vintage instruments ever did. And that's saying something for a guy who's been through ~130 guitars since 1975. I may do some pickup/harness swaps, but these are incredibly high quality, wonderful players.
I do miss the SG, and tried out...
