Eastman SB54/v-LTD, Antique Black Varnish Overview
Inspired by the classic single cut design, this SB54 features a one piece solid Mahogany body with a relic black finish. It’s a vintage combination that provides stunning tonal results, rich and resonant - it’s every bit as impressive as its American counterparts. With authentically old school looks, this beauty will only continue to develop with further use.
The one piece Mahogany neck boasts a slick Ebony fingerboard, 12"" radius, 24 3/4"" scale length, 22 frets and ivoroid binding. Smooth and well balanced it offers easy access right up the neck, perfect for lead runs.
A guitar like this needs an awesome pickup pairing. With a Seymour Duncan Custom Shop Staple P-90 in the neck and a Seymour Duncan Custom Shop Antiqued Soap Bar P-90 in the bridge. The SB54 delivers classic tones for a wide range of styles and settings. Whether you’re a blues player, jazz or classic rock tone fiend, the SB54 can provide knockout tones above and beyond what you would expect from a guitar of this price. It’s a real winner. While their name may not carry the same weight as other more established manufacturers, the quality of their guitars certainly does!
