Sound Pure's Take

Now this is something to get excited about!  This design, a result of a winning collaboration between Eastman and Ryan Thorell, is perfect for the swinging fusion of Jazz from both sides of the Atlantic that Frank Vignola is renowned for.  The unique bracing pattern, Johnny Smith pickup from Lollar, tonewood combination, and compact design all make for an exhilirating, gratifying playing experience both acoustically and amplified.  

From Eastman Guitars

Frank Vignola

The virtuosic playing of Frank Vignola demands an instrument that can keep up. It’s an honor and a privilege to partner with Thorell Guitars to produce such a guitar. Frank’s signature Eastman is equally at home in a jazz club or at a bluegrass festival.
