Sound Pure's Take

Weight: 7.5 lbs.

I think I'm in love!  Here's how it happened: first, the looks.  This has got to be the best Antique finish I've seen on a new guitar, varnish no less.  The tuners, the inlay, the binding--the aesthetics of the guitar don't scream so much as growl vintage.  Next? Playability.  For me, the combination of a 1 3/4" nut and a short scale length are the definition of comfortable playing.  And then I plugged it in.  For those who haven't heard of them, the Seymour Duncan Seth Lover pickups are -the- humbuckers you need to know about it if you have even a passing interest in the classic guitar tones that embody Blues, Jazz, Rock n Roll and more.  Seth Lover invented the humbucker and these pickups are made exactly to his groundbreaking specifications.  Switching between neck, blend, and bridge positions is like a series of successive lessons in the history of American music--in hi-def!  Warm, full, and incredibly articulate, you can go from smokey-smooth jazz to downright nasty, gritty blues in a flash.  If you've been on the hunt for a vintage ES-335 or anything like it, well, Eastman has answered your question with this guitar and then some.  Call us up today to find out why this our favorite thinline from Eastman yet!
