Sound Pure's Take
This entry into the Romeo series might just be our favorite one yet. The finishing is stylish and sleek, featuring a never-before-seen Eastman color in glittering Celestine Blue, ivory binding, gold speed knobs and chrome Göldo hardware. The pickups, Seymour Duncan's Radiator Phat Cat P-90's, have that bell-like clarity paired with big full range we've all come to associate with all things Gold Foil. The tremolo system is truly to die for; easy restringing, huge vibrato range, and tons of tuning stability. Some guitars just get everything right, and the Romeo LA is no exception!
From Eastman Guitars
GROUNDBREAKING HARDWARE
Romeo LA's signature design is a perfect fit for a tremolo system, and the Göldo Les Trem is a match made in heaven for both function and tone, Paired with the Göldo 3-Point Vario “moving” bridge this set up allows for maximum articulation, sustain, and resonance. Göldo K-Line back locking tuners further enhance this precision so your tuning will hold strong and re-stringing will be a breeze.
P-90 FUELED SOUNDS
Organic tones ooze from a pair of Gold Foil Radiator covered Seymour Duncan Phat Cat P-90's bringing a new tonal palette to the Romeo family. Paired with the Les Trem Tremolo system, Romeo LA leans into its hometown’s glam and airy west coast tones. It’s a brand new look and sound that you have never seen or heard in an Eastman.
WEST COAST LOVE
As an innovative, modern day thinline, Romeo LA brings its Celestine Blue finish center stage with a calming hue that evokes the classic skyline of the city it calls home - Los Angeles . Beneath this finish is a laminate top, back, and sides further expanding upon Romeo’s lightweight design and unique tonal palette.
