The SB59/v-BK combnines classic SB59 construction and Eastman’s hand-rubbed antique varnish finish in black for vintage feel and appearance. A pair of Lollar Aged/Wound Imperial Humbuckers gives the SB57/v-BK balanced, warm tone and sustain, appropriate for an older maple/mahogany classic.

Along with the two-piece maple top and single piece mahogany body, the neck is solid mahogany with ebony fretboard and pearl crown inlays. The top and fingerboard are bound in ivoroid. Aged nickel Gotoh hardware adds to the road-worn look but delivers dependable, modern functionality. A deluxe hardshell case is included. 


Man, if you are looking for a great single-cut guitar for the best price available, this is the one for you! We can't say enough good things about the exceptional work that Eastman has done with their SB59 series - particularly with the varnish models. The aesthetics are stunning and detailed but the playability and tones stand up just as strong! This could definitely be your "every gig" guitar and is sure to turn heads and melt faces
