This guitar is a prime example of the quality of Eastman Guitars. It's woods and craftsman ship are absolutely superb even when compared to much higher price points.
The SB55 represents exceptional value and build quality. The iconic style sounds super with the Lollar 50's spec Dog Ear P90 and no-load tone pot.
These are some of the best 50's style instruments we've ever seen come through the shop.

The Faber aged tuners are crafted to look aged and worn during Faber's own initial production stage and therefore the key internal components are not affected by this process and retain their full usability and durability. These are great set of tuners that ensure your guitar stays in constant tune.
The one-piece Okoume mahogany solid body delivers a lightweight instrument without sacrificing an ounce of tone.
Mahogany produces a punchy growl with excellent sustain, generally favoured for punchy rock music.
Mahogany ages well and sounds even better as it matures.
The SB55 features a stunning lightly aged Antique Varnish finish.
A thinner layer of varnish allows for a more resonant, and wide-open sound, giving these instruments a voice all their own.
This guitar will continue to age as you play it and make it your own!
Scatter wound with de-gaussed Alnico 5 bar magnets, the P-90 Dogear gives you a fat, clean tone with a smoother treble ideal for harder, driving rock with more grind. It sounds like an old P-90 rather than a new pickup with hard edges. Brilliant for creating those classic tones we all know and love.
The Eastman SB55 features 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.
The grey lined case is a perfect fit and compliments the guitar beautifully.
These guitars have a higher grade of case to normal, which is the final piece of the puzzle to protect this luxury instrument.
