Story Over a decade ago, we partnered up with John Backlund to bring his visionary Model 100 to life. Since then, Backlund has grown into a full-fledged brand under the Eastwood umbrella—celebrated worldwide for its bold, retro-futuristic designs.Now, we’re proud to unveil the latest chapter in that story: the Backlund Neptune.Instantly recognizable as a Backlund classic, the Neptune carries on the tradition of offering an aesthetic that's somehow oultandish, yet familiar at the same time. Its V-inspired silhouette is reimagined with flowing contours that make it the most comfortable and ergonomic Backlund yet!Beneath its striking looks lies a tone-chambered mahogany body paired with a soft-C maple neck, delivering resonance and sustain without the weight. Three custom-wound blade pickups unlock a wide tonal palette, from crystalline clarity to rich, full-bodied warmth, making the Neptune as inspiring to play as it is to behold. The result is a guitar that feels alive in your hands: responsive, dynamic, and ready to push your playing into new territory.
