When we initially heard about the Juliet line, we were on the edge of our seats. Eastman's first in-line-six headstock? Offset solid body? Bare Knuckle Old Guards? We were over the moon! Now that we've landed, we can confidently say we weren't dissappointed. Each Juliet has its own distinct character, and despite feeling incredibly comfortable and familiar, it's unlike anything we've laid hands on! We've fallen for the Juliet, and you're going to as well.
In this video, Sound Pure guitar specialist Eddie Berman plays an Eastman Juliet Pomona Blonde Electric Guitar P2201608 with a 3rd Power Wooly Coats Spanky MKII+ Combo Amp, an Xact Tone Solutions Imperial Overdrive Guitar Pedal, and a Universal Audio UAFX Starlight Echo Station.
A bold, new solid body design.
A trio of uniquely Eastman solid body guitars, Juliet is an evolution of Romeo’s ergonomic carves and graceful curves, sculpted for maximum comfort and playability. Striking features include an offset body with raised center bar and laid-in pickguard, making Juliet stand out in any player’s rig, on any player’s stage.
Juliet features a lightweight Okume body and neck, with the waist and lower arm contours providing maximum playing comfort while sitting or standing. Each model comes with its own custom designed and uniquely flat inlaid pickguard contributing to an original look while providing both protection and character. The raised center bar adds soul and sustain to a brand new voice.
Whether you’re using the Schaller three-way Megaswitch to toggle between the Bare Knuckle Old Guard partially wax potted Humbuckers or the Old Guard low wound P90’s, there is no denying that Juliet is a rock n’ roll machine. A three-knob configuration provides two volumes and one tone for the bridge pickup, just like Juliet’s companion Romeo LA. The Antique Black Varnish model comes with a USA Bigsby B5 for players looking for a little extra bend.
Juliet is the first Eastman to feature an in-line-six design, complete with Gotoh tuners. The headstock’s color matched stepdown is an Otto D’ Ambrosio signature, perfectly complementing and highlighting the meticulous attention to detail seen in its design and build.
Eastman Strings began in 1992, but its roots date back centuries to the violin and bow makers of the 1800s. By this time, violin and string instrument builders had streamlined their process enough by hiring specialized woodworkers who would assist them in the most time consuming tasks that there were plenty of quality, affordable handmade instruments. During World War II, many of the premier instrument makers had their towns and workshops destroyed, and some were even killed in the violence. Traditions that had been handed down for centuries from master instrument makers were all but lost, and the process of building by hand was replaced by large-scale manufacturing. After the war, the majority of instrument production had been mechanized, and in order for musicians to find decent instruments they would have to save enormous amounts of money for older, handmade instruments. Eastman Strings is returning to the traditions of the great string instrument builders of the past, and is bringing handmade instruments to musicians around the world at affordable prices.
Eastman Guitars are fine handmade instruments at very reasonable prices. Their archtops and flat tops are made with solid, hand-carved tops, backs, and sides. They offer many of the traditional archtop styles in their Uptown series with options of different woods, dimensions, and pickups. The Thinline series, the El Rey and the Jon Pisano signature line offer some great alternatives, and feature the same kinds of customizable options. Eastman Uptown Deluxe series archtops are custom shop pieces with select AAA grade tone woods, wood binding with inlaid purfilng, and five piece necks.
For the flat top player, Eastman offers many different options in grand concert, orchestra model, grand auditorium, mini jumbo, dreadnought, and jumbo shapes. With these there are many different configurations of Sitka, Adirondack, and Englemann Spruce tops, as well as Mahogany, Rosewood, and Maple back and sides. Between all of these quality handmade instruments we are confident that there is an Eastman guitar out there for any discerning musician. We also carry Eastman mandolins!
With so many options, and with such reasonable pricing, it is no secret why we love Eastman guitars here at Sound Pure. We carry one of the largest inventories of Eastman guitars in the US. Our staff is extremely knowledgeable on the entire Eastman line. If you cannot find the Eastman guitar you are looking for in our vast inventory, we are happy to assist in a special order.
