Eastman Guitars have knocked it out of the park again with their terrific take on the Les Paul Junior.
The SB55/v exudes unparalleled craftsmanship and delivers an exceptional playing experience. Built with meticulous attention to detail, this instrument is designed to impress even the most discerning musicians. Let's delve into its extraordinary features.
The neck material of the SB55/v is crafted from a single piece of Okoume, renowned for its strength and resonance. This ensures optimal sustain and tone, allowing your music to resonate with clarity and richness. The fingerboard, made from luxurious ebony, adds a touch of elegance while offering smooth playability and a comfortable grip.
One notable advantage of the SB55/v is its fingerboard radius of 12 inches. This carefully selected radius allows for effortless string bending and accurate note articulation across the entire fretboard. Combined with a bone nut measuring 1.68 inches and a nut height of .022 inches, this guitar ensures optimal string spacing and facilitates precise intonation.
The SB55/v boasts a set of 22 Jescar FW47104-P frets, expertly installed to provide impeccable playability and longevity. With a scale length of 24 3/4 inches and body dimensions of 13" x 1 7/8", this guitar strikes the perfect balance between comfort and resonance.
In terms of aesthetics, the SB55/v showcases tasteful embellishments. The Pearl Eastman logo and pearl dot inlays on the fingerboard add a touch of sophistication. The custom bakelite pickguard and backplates not only enhance the vintage appeal but also protect the guitar's body from scratches and dings. The white side dot colour ensures easy navigation on the fretboard, even in dimly lit venues.
The SB55/v features an antique varnish top coat finish, providing a timeless appearance and allowing the natural wood grain to shine through. Complemented by antique nickel hardware, including the TPWC-59NA Faber bridge and FKT33SBR-NA Faber Kluson-style tuners, this guitar exudes classic elegance.
When it comes to pickups and electronics, the SB55/v is equipped with a Lollar 50's Spec Dog Ear P-90 in the bridge position. This pickup offers vintage-inspired tones with exceptional clarity and a dynamic range. The pickup height ensures the perfect balance between output and articulation.
The SB55/v also incorporates high-quality components, such as Sprague Orange Drop capacitors, CTS 500K No-Load potentiometers on the tone control, and a Switchcraft #11 output jack. These components guarantee superior tone shaping capabilities and reliable performance for years to come.
This ultra cool guitar is in entirely mint /as new condition.
Comes in its original premium Eastman hardcase with papers (including Certificate of Authenticity).
