Eastman T58-GD Archtop Electric, w/padded bag, setup, & shipping

I've been asked about how these pickups sound... Personally I love them... and feel they are delightfully different... and I really concur with AI's evaluation below:

The sound of the Tonerider Vtron pickups in the Eastman T58-GD Archtop Electric can be described as clear, punchy, and highly articulate, serving as a perfect middle ground between the bright sparkle of a single-coil and the warm depth of a traditional humbucker. Specifically engineered in the Filter'Tron style, these pickups give the fully-hollow guitar a distinct vintage rock 'n' roll and rockabilly character. [1, 2, 3, 4]Sonic Characteristics by Position

• Bridge Pickup: Deliver a bright, snappy, and twangy tone. They are highly dynamic but designed not to be overly harsh or "spiky". When pushed with overdrive, they take on a bite reminiscent of a hot Telecaster, making them excellent for country, blues, and punk-tinged rhythm playing.
• Neck Pickup: Offers an exceptionally clear, woody warmth without the "muddy" or "woolly" low-end often associated with neck humbuckers. Keeping the volume clean yields a smooth jazz tone. Cranking up the gain pushes the pickup into a throaty, expressive roar that excels at bluesy bends and melodic leads.
• Middle Position: Yields a naturally scooped, acoustic-like chime. This phase provides fantastic clarity for complex rhythm chords and clean strumming patterns. [1, 2, 3]

Overall Dynamic Behavior

Because the Eastman T58-GD features a laminate spruce top and maple body, the Tonerider Vtrons work to maximize the guitar's acoustic resonance while keeping unwanted hollowbody feedback relatively manageable. They respond heavily to pick attack and touch sensitivity, maintaining excellent string-to-string definition even under heavy saturation.

An edited version by Eastman is below:

The Eastman T58-GD is a full hollow-body electric guitar that blends vintage 1950s aesthetics with modern reliability. Serial number P2501754 indicates this instrument was manufactured in 2025, as the first two digits of modern Eastman serial numbers typically represent the production year.
