Eastman T59V - 2018

Eastman is a brand known for crafting instruments that combine vintage vibes with modern playability, and the T59V is no exception.

First off, the "T" stands for thinline, which means this guitar has a semi-hollow body. It's a classic design that's loved for its warm and resonant tones. And the "59"? Well, that's a nod to the late '50s, a time when iconic guitars were taking the stage.

When you pick up a T59V, you'll notice its craftsmanship right away. The attention to detail is spot-on. The body is carefully constructed from quality tonewoods, with maple back and sides with a spruce top. This combination gives the guitar a sweet balance of warmth and clarity.

The vintage-style humbucker pickups are where the magic really happens. They've got that sweet, creamy sound that's perfect for jazz, blues, and rock. Think about those classic tones you'd hear in smoky clubs from back in the day – that's what these pickups bring to the table.

Now, the "V" in T59V stands for "varnish," and that's a special touch. Instead of a thick, glossy finish, Eastman uses a varnish that lets the wood breathe. It's like a time capsule, taking you back to the era when guitars were built with a different kind of love.

And when you play it, you'll feel that love too. The neck is comfortable, and the fretwork is top-notch. It's one of those guitars that feels like an old friend from the moment you start strumming.

Whether you're into jazz licks, soulful bends, or just grooving along, the Eastman T59V has you covered. It's like having a vintage-inspired classic that's also super versatile, reliable and affordable.
