Most of you know the story.  Decided I needed a Martin Dread and so something had to go.  Bought in May and played very little as I really seemed to bond a little more with the E10OM-SB. I had a K&K pure mini installed by Sun Valley guitars.  

Price: 1100.00   Shipping: 120.00 and prefer Friends and Family if it's PP.

Hello all,

I am a new member and proud owner of a brandnew Eastman SB59 Goldburst. Best guitar I ever had… Absolutely beautiful in all relevant ways - tone, playability, looks, feel…

Hope to exchange experiences here and gain some insights on owning and playing an Eastman!

Regards!

Has anyone dealt with them before? I just sent them a price quote that I received from Sweetwater and supposedly they'll match other offers.  It also appears that they only charge sales tax in PA?  Any confirmations of this or experiences would be great!

Not my ad, but thought all on here would appreciate this rare prototype Eastman.

Hi folks....
Just joined this forum and have a quick question please...
I have purchased my first Eastman (T59v/amb), which will not be with me until November and was wondering what amp would you recommend for use at home? I'd like to do it justice, so your thoughts would be much appreciated. My music style are as follows:- country, blues, rockabilly and rock. Thanks

There seem to be a number of E20-OOs available right now (SS finish). It's been a few years since these had their own thread on this site.  Any thoughts?  Best/worst years?  I might be able to find room for one...

Newbie here.  Veteran player and serious collector as well.  Found a SB55 locally, and besides the incredible deal I got on it, I struck gold with one the original owner had only a few months.   What an amazing instrument to say the least.  I have a 1958 LP Junior as a baseline, but I must say they are really not the same guitar for many reasons.  Readers already familiar with the SB55 are aware the comparisons are slight.  

The Eastman neck is big. Baseball bat big. But super comfortable and welcoming to play.  Finish and hardware speak for themselves and have been discussed many times over from what Ive seen on the net.  Ebony fingerboard is lucious. One piece body and neck... our friends in Nashville charge thousands for that layout.  I will only make one comment on the Lollar.  If you are looking for a screaming P-90 ala Leslie, this isnt the one.  It is a lower wind and more articulate. Chimey in the clean mode, and digs in pretty good dirty, but it is not going to set anything on fire.    Im on the fence about going with a hotter model and will wait until I run it through a few of my different rigs.   Regardless, the 50s wind does a beautiful job.

Im knocked out by the suede like case as well and all the tools for the Faber bridge are included.  I have Faber ABR-1 style bridges on a couple other guitars and love the quality and perfection in intonation properties they offer.  Huge upgrade for any G style guitar.   I think there will continue to be gear snobs by the name on the headstock or country of origin, but take it from a collector that has over 50 vintage and modern guitars including ones built by our friends in Maryland, Nashville, North Carolina etc...  These Eastman guitars are superb in all ways.  Yes, I have played one of their jazz archtops, and also a dual humbucker LP style as well. I would have grabbed the LP (SB59) if it werent for a tight wad seller.   When you can find one that is less than advertised prices, I highly recommend at least getting one in your hands.  Ditch the hype. These are totally legit.

Just did a little tweaking on both of my Eastmans necks and noticed the truss rod is set much deeper in the neck in the E10D than the E20D. Anyone else have these two for comparison? Thanks.

Hi I’m new here, just discovered Eastman on YouTube and I’m very intrigued to say the least. They sound amazing from what I can tell and I’ve been disappointed by Gibson regular line of guitars. I’m looking for a Les paul type so the Eastman sb59 is what I’m looking into. One info I couldn’t find online is whether they use a truss rod cover to sheath the truss rod? 

I know it seems like a detail but I feel like it plays a role in how the guitar feels in terms of vibration.

Thanks a lot
