Eastman SB55DC/V - Vintage Red  

Eastman

Eastman was founded in 1992 by Qian Ni, a Chinese musician who had moved to America. He realised there were few professional instruments available at the time, which is why he decided to start his own company. Quality is still Eastman’s priority. Every instrument is made by hand and goes through an extensive process to ensure that the instruments will stand the test of time and can be used quite intensively.

The SB55DC/v

The SB55DC/v is a remarkable solid-body guitar. This is not just because of its unique shape and colour, but also because it only has one pickup. The guitar contains the Lollar 50s Spec Doc Ear P-90 pickup in the bridge. This pickup is a blues pickup, based on the ‘50s. This means the P-90 emphasises the top end and sounds brighter. The guitar has a one-piece okoume body, which is a lightweight tonewood. The neck is also a one-piece okoume and has an ebony fretboard. Ebony is considered to be one of the best tonewoods for the fretboard, as it feels nice and produces a balanced sound. Furthermore, The beautiful natural patterns of the okoume are nicely complemented by the antique red colour. The SB55DC/v is delivered with a case.
