Eastman is making some of the greatest guitars in the world right now.

I know this is an old video for you sir but on your opinion I bought this guitar. IT’s everything you said it was and more! I LOVE it!!! Eastman is a great builder. I love your videos

Managed to get one of these after watching this video. Got to say this guitar put the biggest smile on my face after 35 years of playing, fantastic instrument, very organic and so much tones using tone and volume. The only thing I will change are the tuners, the Fabers on my guitar feel very loose and to be honest feel cheap. A set of Identical gotohs will turn this guitar into my best ever purchase and I have bought a silly amount of guitars over the years, thank you for this great video

If they made a 2-pickup version of this guitar, I'd have bought one by now.

I think it was about 25 years ago when a friend of mine, who owned a vintage guitar store, had an original early Les Paul Junior DC in cherry red hanging there for 1250 guilders (the Netherlands). That's approximately €600,- now, or 650 US dollars. THAT'S INSANE! I loved that guitar, but I didn't have the money then and I figured "these guitars are sleepers, they'll always be relatively cheap". DAMN, I'LL ALWAYS HATE MYSELF FOR BEING AN IDIOT!

The only thing this guitar needs, is to come in TV yellow...

That is one sweet ride!

I have a Eastman SB55/v-SB which is the single cut model and it is awesome. Mine is right at 3kg and was set up very, very well. Only thing I did was add a touch more relief and drop the bridge a hair. They are really custom shop quality instruments.

Brett! I bought the SB55 DC. Now I see why at 28 seconds into this video your face turns a blush red like you’re fell in love. You were glowing during this demo. And now that I’ve had it for a couple of day, I can’t say that it’s NOT my favorite guitar. If I’m still feeling this way next week, I’d say I am completely smitten. Or as you would say, “it’s a ripper”

See you in Brisbane in a couple of weeks Burgs!... loking forward to hearing that guitar at Eaton's Hill!..

Great sounding Instrument Brett. I have had an Eastman E20D acoustic in the past (sold), but now maybe getting an electric. :)

Love Eastman electric guitars

Loving these Eastman videos just bought the sb 54 v Ltd might drop some money on one of these

That is a great looking and sounding guitar. I like the single cut version as well. It looks better than the Gibson Lucas Nelson in blah satin finish.

I want. Therefore I am. 👍😎❤🖖 Love brother

Super cool guitar, thanks for doing the video. To be a little more ergonomic, I wish it had a forearm carve and a belly carve. In my opinion, this particular Gibson design is not so iconic that Eastman can't use some artistic license to make some small, cheap improvements on what is essentially a flat plank of wood.

I think this will be my next guitar

Wish they made a lefty version of this. May have to get one and flip it over!

I need this one!!!! 👍🏽👍🏽

Keep it brother !!! :)

If only they made these like two-pickup juniors

👍 Cheers 🍻

My next guitar

Good for some Quo mate! But, Whatever you Want eh!!!!😊

So if you had to pick one... the single cut SB55 or the Double cut SB55-dc... which one do you pick?!?!

Sounds great! I wonder what kind of neck shape it has, if it's more 50s or 60s

Burgs, Ya think they'll do a 1" neck diameter?

I could be completely wrong but I think your hamburger mic was picking up the guitar which makes it and a bit harsh (if you’re excluded the mic audio when guitar is playing then ignore me, I’m an idiot)

I was not long off the phone enquiring about a hollow body Eastman & up pops this video! It's so hard to tell how this guitar sounds when you are running through an amp most don't have or aren't familiar with, other than knowing it's in a price bracket at the upper echelons. So, I'm wondering what exactly sets this guitar apart from its competitors? The sound to me is rather generic, so is it only about the price or is there something other than that? And whilst fit and finish is typically top notch on reviewers samples, such Chinese guitars (even though it's a Canadian company) have a reputation of being somewhat hit and miss coming from the factories of China. Their quality control simply isn't what it should be, so lessor examples get through the large cracks. I have heard and read from a myriad of sources with unhappy customers. It's a pity that manufacturers, especially the smaller brands, don't move their factories to Korea where quality control is known to be far superior or perhaps even Indonesia. I believe the customer needs that assurance they are buying a quality product, especially in these days where online sales are so important. Excellent playing as always, just a little more ubiquitous than usual. Cheers. 🎸🎸🎸

It's not a soap bar pickup.... it's and ear dog pickup.

There is always a reason when something is too good to be true! Eastman guitars are made in Chinese factories under dreadful conditions for many very young workers, if you ever saw how they are treated you would never include an Eastman in your review again. Do your own research before buying an instrument because someone paid a price so you can get a bargain and if that doesn't make you feel awful playing it you need to question your humanity.
