Eastman SB59 SB

Product information "Eastman SB59 SB"

Eastman has already proven that Chinese companies can also build very high-quality instruments with its acoustic semi-hollowbodies and first-class jazz guitars. Now comes the next coup: with the SB59 Eastman enters the solid body realm. The SB59 is a genuine noble "Lester" from the Empire of the Middle - Eastman has used the best available materials when selecting the woods, hardware and electrics: one-piece okoume body with beautifully grained, thick curly maple top, one-piece oloume neck with ebony fingerboard, geared Gotoh Relic hardware, Seymour Duncan Antiquity humbucker, CTS potentiometers and Sprague Orange Drop tone capacitors. The SB59 is also a real visual highlight.

About Eastman

The guitar workshop Eastman Guitars has its origins in the company Eastman Strings. Eastman Strings was founded in 1992 by Qian Ni in Beijing and originally started with the handcrafted production of high-quality violins, violas, cellos and double basses. Because the traditional craftsmanship and the resulting instruments are still highly valued today, the workshop quickly expanded its range to include acoustic, semi-acoustic and fully solid guitars.

These instruments are created with the same craft skill and precise workmanship as the string instruments, which makes the semi-acoustic models a definite recommendation to try for all jazz and blues guitarists searching for a new instrument. The semi-acoustic guitars are available as Thinline, Archtop and even as a Signature Archtop model. Depending on preference you can then choose between All Solid Carved, Solid Carved Top and laminate models.

The high-quality solid-body guitars in LP style are similar. These are also divided into three levels. The choice is between guitars with Antique Varnish, Truetone Gloss and Truetone Vintage Gloss finishes, with the Antique Varnish finish being inspired by violin making and delivering a full, open and resonant tone.

Fans of acoustic guitars can enjoy the largest selection from Eastman Guitars.

Besides the many different guitar shapes like Dreadnought, Grand Auditorium, Orchestra and Jumbo or OO, Parlor, Travel and further exotics such as Cabaret and Gypsy-Jazz, the western acoustics also differ in their build quality levels and finishes. Among the most popular are the Traditional, AC and the Antique Varnish series.

No matter which instrument you ultimately choose from the guitar workshop Eastman Guitars, you receive a high-quality piece of craftsmanship made from fine tonewoods and convincing with an excellent sound.

Die Beschreibung spricht für sich und benötigt keine weiteren Worte. Spitzenklang, Verarbeitung, Hardware, Optik erste Sahne. Bei Gibson würde sie locker über 3000,- Euro kosten.
