Eastman
The T486 is a beautiful thinline guitar from Eastman. Eastman is an American company that was founded in the 1990s by the Chinese Qian Ni. Qian Ni emigrated to Boston to study music, but once he arrived in America he was not impressed by the quality of American stringed instruments. As a result, he started his own company, Eastman, producing violins. Over the years, Eastman's range has expanded significantly and guitar building techniques and quality standards have improved greatly. Eastman therefore guarantees quality. As a result, they are one of the most popular in the field of acoustic guitars, and in terms of quality they are close to brands such as Martin and Taylor.
The Thinline
The T486 is a thinline guitar. Thinline guitars fall under the hollow-body categorization. Hollow-body guitars are electric guitars with large sound boxes, in which the vibration of the string resonates in the sound box and is then picked up by the pickups. This creates a beautiful and unique sound. This combines the full and warm sound of an acoustic guitar with the power and versatility of an electric guitar. Thinline guitars are basically an improvement on this. After the production of hollow-body guitars it soon became clear that the guitars were very large, which could sometimes be uncomfortable, and that the guitars suffered a lot from feedback. Thus, the thinline was invented. The thinline also has a sound box, but it is a lot thinner, so that the resonance is still good, but the guitar is also a lot more comfortable. Thinlines are mainly popular among jazz guitarists, however thinlines are becoming increasingly popular in other genres.
The T486
The T486 is one of the most popular thinline models on the market. The sound box is made of laminated maple wood. This means that the walls of the guitar consist of several thin layers of maple wood that are glued together. This is a very sustainable way of using wood that is becoming increasingly popular in guitar building. A laminated wood guitar is also more resistant to climate change than authentic tone woods. Laminated guitars are therefore the ideal choice for someone who lives in very dry or very humid climates, the guitar will not crack or warp. This makes the guitar very easy to maintain. The neck of the guitar is made of solid maple and the fingerboard of ebony, this provides a nice playing experience and that the neck slides well through the hand. Finally, the appearance of the guitar is also an important point; the great red color provides an authentic look with a striking appearance. In short, a great guitar for a good price!
