Sound Pure's Take
Boom! We've been waiting for these bad boys to land after our longstanding obsession with the rambunctious (and delightfully red) E10SS/Vs left us wondering: what would happen if Eastman did this same, super thin varnish finish on a Rosewood b/s guitar? The wait is over! And the answer is clear--they sound [insert explicative] phenomenal. Lightweight, reverberant, and bassier than their Mahogany brethren, these instruments are flatout our new favorites from the dedicated artisans at Eastman.
