Eastman SB56/TV-AMB

The Eastman SB56/TV currently available at Mojo's Music is a high-end, single-cutaway electric guitar that blends a 1950s aesthetic with modern precision. Known for its "TrueTone" Vintage Gloss finish, it offers the look and feel of a broken-in classic without the heavy artificial wear of a "relic" guitar. The tones and feel that this Eastman gives up will have you playing for hours before you realize you have something else to do…it's that good.

Core Specifications

• Body: A solid carved Maple top paired with a one-piece Mahogany back, providing the classic weight and resonance expected of a premium single-cut.
• Neck: One-piece Mahogany with a comfortable C-shaped profile and an Ebony fingerboard.
• Pickups: It is traditionally equipped with Lollar Custom Aged/Wound Soapbar P-90s. These pickups deliver a punchy, mid-range growl and responsive dynamics that respond beautifully to your volume knob.
• Hardware: Relic-finished Gotoh bridge, tailpiece, and tuners, which complement the vintage amber gloss.
• Finish: The TrueTone Vintage Gloss is a thinner, more resonant finish than standard poly, designed to allow the wood to breathe and age naturally over time.

Why it Stands Out

• Vibe: It’s often described as a boutique alternative to a Goldtop or 1956-style single-cut, but with a more accessible price point and meticulous hand-craftsmanship.
• Tone: The combination of the P-90 pickups and the mahogany/maple construction makes it versatile for everything from blues and jazz to raw rock and roll.
• Local Benefit: At Mojo's Music, you'll benefit from our standard offerings of free professional in-person lessons and professional setup with your purchase.
