Here for sale we have an Eastman SB57/N Electric Guitar in Vintage Nitro Black finish. Made in China, this set-neck constructed guitar consists of a Solid Carved Maple top, a 1-piece Mahogany body, a 1-pc Mahogany neck, and a 22-fret Ebony fingerboard. Other appointments include Gotoh Relic SD90 tuners, a Gotoh Relic Series GE-104B-GG bridge, a Gotoh Relic Series GE101A-GG Tailpiece, and a set of Lollar Custom Aged/Wound Imperial Humbuckers. These pickups are wired to two volume controls, two tone controls, and a three-way pickup selector.
The 1-Piece Mahogany neck sits very comfortably in the hand, with the profile feeling chunky without being cumbersome and providing a smooth and articulate playing experience across the register. The Ebony fingerboard is pleasant and luxurious under the fingers, offering a sumptuous yet durable playing surface for the user to explore. The 12” radius is traditional for an instrument in this style, and is practical for both chordal and melodic playing styles, making bending and vibrato techniques a breeze. The single cutaway body design offers the player unobstructed access to the higher register, perfect for those screaming lead lines.
The Lollar Custom Aged/Wound Imperial humbucking pickups installed in this guitar deliver powerful Les Paul style tones, taking you from sweet cleans through to snarling overdrive. The tone is warm and certainly vintage-inspired, yet retains just enough modern clarity and articulation for a refined overall sound. The neck is round and powerful, blasting lead lines and solos to the front of the mix. The bridge is bright and articulate, and works exceptionally well for dirty blues or rock rhythm parts and riffs. The controls are kept simple and traditional, but respond very well to small changes meaning that a wide range of tones are on offer without going anywhere near a pedal.
Please be aware that for international buyers import fees are not included in our postage and packaging cost, this only covers the cost of the guitar being sent to you. Import fees will be charged by Customs upon the guitar's arrival in the recipient country. Due to Brexit, this also applies to EU buyers. We advise checking the total import cost with Customs as this is not information we are able to accurately provide.
