BRUNSWICK EAST, Australia
About this listing
A refined take on the classic 335-style semi-hollow, the Eastman T59/v delivers vintage character, modern reliability, and exceptional build quality. With its hand-crafted construction, premium tonewoods, and carefully aged hardware, this is a serious instrument for players who want boutique feel without stepping into Custom Shop pricing.
Tone & Pickups
Loaded with a pair of Seymour Duncan Antiquity Humbuckers, the T59/v covers a wide tonal range with ease. From warm, articulate cleans to rich, driven tones, these pickups retain clarity and dynamics across the board.
The solid centre block running through the body significantly reduces feedback compared to fully hollow designs (like a Casino-style guitar), making it far more usable at higher gain levels and stage volumes without sacrificing that open, semi-hollow resonance.
Build & Feel
Eastman's hand-built approach is immediately evident. The fit and finish, fretwork, and setup are all executed to a high standard, resulting in a guitar that feels responsive and alive in the hands.
The Traditional Even “C” neck profile paired with an ebony fingerboard offers a comfortable, familiar feel, while the medium jumbo Jescar frets provide excellent playability for both chord work and lead playing.
Put simply, this is one of those instruments that punches well above its price point.
