Sound Pure's Take
Holy cow!!!
It's like a tele had a baby with an L5
An extremely responsive archtop in a compact size that makes me feel in control
I plugged it through a CARR Sportsman and drifted down a river of tone
Whenever these come along, they get snatched up quick
Don't miss this opportunity to embark on a journey through the wide world of "articulated blues"
From Eastman Guitars
These unique 1 3/4" deep instruments come with a choice of solid, hand-carved mahogany or maple backs with solid spruce or maple tops. The maple body guitars sport handsome gold hardware, 7-ply binding on the body, split block inlays and maple necks with ebony fingerboards. The mahogany body guitars come with chrome hardware, 3 ply bindings, dot inlays, mahogany necks and rosewood fingerboards. Both of these guitars come equipped with powerful Kent Armstrong Humbucking pickups that can slip effortlessly from a rich, woody jazz sound to a satisfying, crunchy, vintage rock tone that explodes out of your amp. These versatile guitars neatly span the distance between a fine hollow body archtop and the classic center block thinline model guitar.
