This Eastman, and the others we have had through the store, are 100% the real deal, master-crafted guitars. Don't let the country of origin deter you. This thing is the bomb! Meticulously finished in antiqued Truetone finish, this guitar sings for days when you crank up the amp a little and turn loose the Lollar P-90.
Capless Solid Body with Antique Varnish Play It Loud
A cap-less one-piece Okoume mahogany solid body delivers a lightweight playing experience without sacrificing an ounce of tone. The Antique Varnish finish found on both the SB55/v-SB and SB55DC/v brings the guitars’ visual and tonal beauty to the forefront. Our Antique Varnish finish is smoother than lacquer, with the thinner layer of finish from our shop allowing for a fuller, more wide-open resonant sound that gives these instruments a truly unique voice.
Lollar Pickups No Frills
Both the SB55/v-SB and SB55DC/v models feature a Lollar “50’s Spec” P90 in the bridge position. The lower output pickup produces a brighter and more defined tone with less distortion, creating room for more chordal articulation and playing subtleties to come through. This is perfect for players looking for a warm and growling sound that doesn’t sacrifice the details.
Faber Bridge & No-Load Tone Pots No Detail Left Unchecked
Premium Faber hardware, including a compensated Faber bridge for perfect intonation, provides the incredibly functional playing experience every player looks to find. The SB55/v-SB and SB55DC/v feature a no-load tone pot that bypasses itself from the signal chain when set to 10. When set below 10, it acts as a standard tone pot.
