Here for sale we have an Eastman Juliet in Pomona Blonde finish. Made in China in 2017, this guitar features a neck-thru construction comprising a one-piece Okoume neck and body, and 22 fret Ebony fingerboard. Nickel hardware is fitted including Gotoh GE-104B-NI T-o-M style bridge, Gotoh GE101A-NI stop tailpiece and Gotoh SD91-05M-L vintage style split post tuning machines. A pair of Bare Knuckle Old Guard humbucking pickups are installed, and are wired to a 3-way blade switch, independent volumes and master tone controls.
The Okoume neck plays very well, with a profile that could be described as a vintage-style 'C' shape; filling the hand nicely for a substantial grip, whilst remaining slim enough for articulate playing. This is well complemented by the relatively wide nut, which at 1.68" offers ample string spacing for accurate fretting across the register. The Ebony fingerboard used in this particular example is beautifully dark, and with its tight grain adds a real sense of luxury to the playing experience. Along with the 12" radius and Jescar FW47104-P frets, which feel like medium jumbos, the fretboard is confidence-inspiring, highly practical and playable.
The pair of Bare Knuckle Old Guard humbucking pickups installed in this guitar deliver rich and full-bodied ones, well suited to a wide range of playing styles and genres. The neck is warm and round, with plenty of power to push your lead lines and solos to the front of the mix. Handling both clean tones and a range of gain levels very well, this is a versatile neck pickup. The bridge position is of course brighter, and is exceptionally well suited to rock and blues rhythm parts and riffs. With independent volume controls and a master tone, it's nice and easy to tweak your tone right on the guitar while playing.

Aesthetic Condition:
Headstock: Overall very good condition. The front face shows very light scratching when viewed under direct light, as is common with high gloss finishes. Tooling marks and delamination of the finish is apparent surrounding the truss rod cavity. The inside of the truss rod cavity shows light signs of finish wear. Any other markings are difficult to discern.
Neck: Overall excellent condition. The end of the fingerboard beyond the 22nd fret shows light indentation. Any other markings to the neck and fingerboard are difficult to discern.
Body: Overall very good condition. A small chip to the bottom edge of the front face close to the strap button lightly exposes the wood. The rear face shows very light indentations to the treble side close to the control cavity. Light scratching which is visible under direct light can be found to the treble side of the waist, in line with light playwear. Any other markings are difficult to discern.
Condition of Frets:
The frets demonstrate very light signs of use, not affecting playability. There is considerable material remaining for any fret work the new owner may wish to perform.
Current Set Up:
Truss Rod: Fully functional. Truss rod tool (4mm hex) included.
Hardware: Fully functional with light signs of wear. The pickup covers show mild scratching, most notably the neck pickup. The bridge, although a factory original part, is not a snug fit on the bridge posts, meaning that it can be moved around by approximately 1 mm in either direction. With the tension of the strings this is not a meaningful issue for string alignment or intonation.
Structural: No concerns or issues to note.
Height of the string from the 12th Fret-1.5mm - Bass 2mm
Please be aware that the action on a guitar may move slightly in transit and this measurement is the current height.
