We've looked the Brian Eastwood "Bender Distortocaster" before on Guitarz but I just can't resist showing it again because it is such a wild-looking guitar, and you don't often see them come up for sale on eBay.
Brian Eastwood is, of course, a legendary British luthier, and his guitars should not be confused with Mike Robinson's Eastwood guitar brand. Despite the warped appearance of the Distortocaster, it is reported to play exceedingly well and gives a reliable rendition of all the classic Strat sounds.
The example pictured here is currently listed on eBay UK with a Buy It Now price of £1600.
