Eastman SB55DCTV Electric Guitar – 2017

Eastman SB55DCTV Here’s a high quality, well built and great sounding double-cut style guitar from Eastman. The SB55DCTV has the feel and vibe of the vintage double-cuts (ie LP Jr) but with up to date manufacturing methods and materials. This guitar is in very good condition showing very little playwear. The frets and neck are in great shape. Pickups and controls all functions as they should. The original Eastman case is included.

The result is an extremely thin and somewhat open-pore finish, yet one that is still very smooth and glossy. It’s complemented by a tortoise pickguard, pearl dot inlays and pearl logo. The glued-in neck is also made from okoume, topped with an unbound ebony fingerboard with 22 medium-jumbo frets, leading to a bone nut and 17-degree back-angled headstock. Eastman’s manufacturing process essentially involves a collective of individual builders rather than an assembly-line setup, and the personality of that approach comes through here. Although bodies are CNC machined, each neck is hand carved and sanded, and while there’s a general “shape” they are aiming at across the model, all will be slightly different as a result. Nicely rolled fingerboard edges add playing comfort.
