Description
The Eastman SB56-S in Truetone Vintage Satin Gold is a great option for players who want a single-cut style guitar with a more stripped-down, vintage-leaning feel, but without sacrificing build quality. It's especially appealing if you like the response and simplicity of P90-style pickups and a solid, resonant body. This one keeps things straightforward, but everything about it is dialed in for real-world playing.
The combination of a solid carved maple top and a one-piece okoume body gives you a nice balance of warmth and clarity, with a bit of extra snap on the top end. The Tonerider V90 pickups bring that classic P90 character, clear, punchy, and slightly raw, with enough output to push an amp while still cleaning up well. CTS pots, Orange Drop capacitors, and Gavitt braided wiring round things out, so your controls feel smooth and usable across the full range.
The okoume neck with a Traditional Even C profile sits comfortably in the hand, and the rosewood fingerboard with Jescar frets keeps things feeling familiar and easy to navigate. Hardware from Gotoh and stable vintage-style tuners help keep everything reliable, and the satin Truetone finish keeps the instrument resonant without feeling sticky. We like this for players who want a no-nonsense, P90-loaded guitar that feels broken-in and ready to go right away.
