This is so full of win. Why did I have to be bored at work and browse through the older pages of the gear section? Why oh why?
Now I want this and the Squier Duo Sonic.

Sadly, no - I have a Squier Bronco that I've strung with piccolo bass strings to tune EADG (in guitar range), and I have a micro-travel bass (slightly larger than mandolin-sized) that I've strung with piccolo strings to get up to ADGC. Both techniques have flaws, though (largely to do with string tension, action, and cheap instruments that were never intended to be tuned so high). They work, but it's less than ideal. A true tenor guitar would be awesome. Sadly, the place closest to me that used to carry Eastwood's has discontinued that relationship due to quality control issues. Still hoping to get my hands on this somehow, to try before I buy.

Sounds beautiful. We were checking it out in the youtube video at the jam session last night. I think it knocks the Squire Duo-Sonic out of the running.

This tenor is cool, but check out Neko Case's ultra rare '58 Les Paul Special Tenor

According to the Eastwood site "Pickups: Single Coil Blade"
So I'm guessing it's a single coil with a little bit of bite. Although it sounds awfully clean and sweet before he kicks in that fuzz. Jazzy and resonant, even.

Yeah I know.. I found on on elbay that looks very similar for like $16.00 but I don't feel like experimenting with a cheap new pickup not knowing what it actually is...

Seymour Duncan makes some nice single-coil blade pickups. There's also a number of "Buddy Holly" Strat single coils that use a blade.
