BETTER than a LES PAUL?

This Eastman single cut guitar is legit top shelf. With some of the nicest fretwork that I've ever seen, Lollar pickups, a beautiful, classic finish, and high grade components, the SB57/N-BK is an obvious alternative to a traditional Les Paul. While this is not necessarily a budget instrument, I think you're getting way more for your money than the "other" choice in this style. What do you guys think?

@jameshill2015 3 жыл бұрын

Make no mistake..this is no Chibson... Gibson has great points to them but dont think "made in China" means its not better, it isnt production made in the Epiphone factory, its made in a large factory of highly skilled workers that take an unusual amount of pride in their work, first off l can tell you no corners were cut for budget hence the $2k tag...CTS, Switchcraft, Custom Hand wound Lollars.. but the board is ebony not rosewood, the inlays are not Pearloid but are actual Mother of Pearl and the fret work is all Max says it is.. l have 20+ guitars and l can tell you that the 2 Eastmans l own have the nicest cases of all, the only one being close to equal is my Taylor GA8e case.. these are nothing to laugh at. Just a lil insight from an owner of 2..they are very nice high end Custom Shop level guitars for a lil less than a Standard production guitar.

I bought a Les Paul Standard in the early 70s (used). Almost 50 years later I decided I wanted another. It didn't have to be new. Looking at guitars, the Eastman most reminded me of my old Les Paul. It didn't look the same, but the weight, the neck, the clean sound of the pick ups, all felt like the vintage Les Paul of my youth. Most guitar copies try to make cheaper versions of a great guitar. They are inferior because the parts are inferior. This guitar has great tuners, pots, switches, and pickups. the body and neck materials, and the frets are top notch. This is a really good guitar.

I’m very familiar with these Eastman handmade guitars. They are the best quality you will ever find at this price point. It was a little hard to convince s few of my friends to spend this amount on an instrument made in China. But it’s not a factory made instrument, it is literally hand made by a small team of luthiers. As you mentioned, the feel is amazing and it sounds amazing. Last year when these were initially released, they were actually difficult to find, they were sold out everywhere as soon as they were stocked. I would say they are heirloom quality, something to leave your kids. Great video.

The SB59 are going for around $1400 on Reverb I bought mine a few years ago for a few hundred less but same solid one piece mahogany body carved maple top one piece mahogany neck ebony fingerboard first class hardware and attention to detail. No chambering and weight is a bit over eight pounds. Mine has Seymour Duncan jazz and 59 hum-buckers and I have since sold all three of the Gibson Les Pauls I had before I owned the Eastman. Don’t give me that made in China BS. These are made by hand by skilled luthier’s the way they used to be made in the USA back in the 1950’s. Btw- They also make great violins, mandolins, acoustic and 335, 355 style guitars as well.

If you want that level of quality from Gibson, be prepared to shell out no less than 3500 bucks...and even then, I wouldnt trust Gibson to deliver. I own a Gibson. I own an Eastman.
