Thanks for taking a look at this underrated, under appreciated, and quite frankly, undervalued Eastman SB57!! This is an amazing handcrafted guitar for the money and the craftsmanship and finish is amazing. If it wasn’t for the slight scratching on the back of the guitar, this guitar would be classified as mint. Even with the cosmetic imperfections on the back, the rest of the guitar is in top-notch condition. Barely any fret wear and no signs of abuse or misuse.
If you’re not familiar with Eastman Guitars I suggest you check out their website, look at some of their videos on how they approach their builds, and read/watch some independent reviews and videos.
Here are some specs for this guitar: - Neck Material: One Piece Mahogany - Fingerboard: Ebony - Radius: 12” - Nut: Bone 1 11/16” - Scale Length: 24 3/4” - Body Top: Solid Carved Maple - Body Back/Sides: 1 piece Mahogany - Binding: Body & Neck - Binding Material: Ivoroid - Logo: Pearl Headstock - Inlay: Pearl Crowns - Hardware Color: Antique Gold - Tailpiece, Bridge, Tuners: Gotoh - Pickups: Lollar Custom/Aged Wound Imperial Humbuckers - Pickup Wiring: Gavitt Braided Wire - OHSC
This will most likely be a “Why did I ever sell that guitar?” guitar. If you took the time to check out the specs you will see that the guitar has quality parts and hardware through and through. The Lollar pickups are solid amazing and the playability of this guitar is superb!!!!
As far as condition is concerned, this guitar is in excellent condition. The only areas that aren’t perfect are on the bottom of the back of the guitar. Look at the last two photos and you will see what I mean. Those pictures were taken with direct light on the back of the guitar. No surprises here. This guitar will be exactly as described. As far as the rest of the guitar is concerned it’s in amazing shape. The case does have a couple of slight scuffs but there are no tears and all case candy is included as seen in the pics. What I forgot to take a picture of is the keys. The keys for the case are insides the case compartment.
Any questions or if you want to see other pictures? Just ask. I’m very responsive and truly enjoy talking anything guitar related. Thanks for taking the time to check this out and please see below for shipping information.
By the way, I have sold many guitars successfully on another site and I am building a 5-star reputation here and I want to keep it that way. Although I am newer to Reverb I am knowledgeable and passionate about guitars. Greatest instrument on the planet. I also know how to package a guitar properly and I want you to know that I will ship it out quickly.
As far as shipping is concerned I would like the buyer to know that I will insure the guitar for the price paid and I will require the buyer to sign for the guitar upon receipt. I normally use FedEx and have had great luck with them. I will only ship to the continental United States. I think that’s it. If you have any questions just ask.
