Eastman T49D TV

The Eastman Strings brand was founded in 1992 by Chinese flutist Qian Ni after graduating from the Boston University School of Music. Over the course of three decades, the company's portfolio has grown to include acoustic, semi-acoustic and electric guitars (Eastman Guitars) and with it the brand's fame, so that the company's players include such luminaries as James Dean Bradfield (Manic Street Preachers), Adrian Utley (Portishead) and Lee Ranaldo (Sonic Youth). In the case of Eastman instruments, you can rely on superior craftsmanship, demonstrated by features and techniques such as hand-reduced ribbing or individual tuning of the instrument's soundboard.

The Eastman T49D/TV is a bay electric guitar in the style of the revered ES-175 "jazz box" bows, which is sure to appeal to players with high demands on workmanship and sound quality.

The body of the guitar is made of laminated maple. A three-piece maple neck with a pleasant "C" profile is glued to a rosewood fingerboard fitted with twenty Medium Jumbo frets. Easy matchmaking at higher fretboard positions is guaranteed by the lower body cutaway (Florentine Cutaway), while orientation on the fingerboard is facilitated by pearl position blocks (Split Blocks).

Two boutique vintage humbuckers from the renowned Seymour Duncan brand with Alnico 2 magnets and authentic aged/patina features give the guitar the pure sound of the coveted PAF humbuckers. Adjust the character of the sound using the standard controls. The strings are mounted in Gotoh SD90-Relic tuning machines and through an adjustable rosewood fingerboard in a metal pickguard (Relic Nickel Plated Trapeze Style). The nice workmanship is accentuated by the glossy body lacquer with a subtle hint of patina (Truetone Vintage Gloss), double-sided body, fingerboard and F-holes in imitation ivory, black lined pickguard, hardware with subtle patina elements (Relic Nickel) and pearl company logo on the headstock.

The guitar comes in a case.
