Eastman T64/v Goldburst  

Thinlines

The Eastman Romeo California is the new thinline guitar by Eastman. Thinline guitars are part of the hollow body guitars. Hollow-body guitars are electric guitars with a soundboard. The vibrations of the strings resonate in inside the body, after which the resonance is caught and translated by the pickups. This process creates a very unique sound which cannot be replicated by other types of guitars. However, the sound can differ depending on the tonewood and the pickups. The combination between these factors is vital, and hollow-body guitars will often sound amazing with P90s or humbuckers as they produce a vintage-y sound. Yet, thinlines work a bit different. They do have a soundboard, but they are a lot thinner. This prevents feedback and improves your playing experience. Furthermore, the wood plays a larger role in the sound of the guitar, which makes the sound more authentic and warmer. Thinline guitars are thus great for any guitar player, but especially those looking for a vintage sound.

The T64/v

The T64/v is a very versatile thinline guitar. The body is made of maple, which doesn’t only produce a great resonance and tone, but is also very sturdy. Furthermore, the Eastman has two P-90 Dogear pickups. These are very good P-90 pickups that emphasise the higher tones. Consequently, the guitar sounds awesome with a clean sound but can also definitely be used with gain. As such, hollow-body guitars aren’t only suitable for jazz but can be used for every genre. Moreover, the beautiful Goldburst colour makes the guitar very eye-catching and gives it a professional look. The F-holes and the tremolo system also add to the vintage vibe of the guitar.

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.
