Sound Pure's Take
This one almost didn't make it to the site! A couple folks here (including our luthier) briefly considered schemes to keep this guitar from making it to the public eye but, seeing as it's the first of its kind, we figured y'all ought to have first crack at it. We have flat out never heard a more resonant thinline from Eastman--the bass response alone is staggering. The Antiquity P-90s through any tube amp worth its salt are the stuff of dreams. Rock, Blues, R&B, Jazz, Funk, and more--this is a guitar that gets you excited about playing again!
From Eastman Guitars
Thinline
You can think of our semi-hollow thinlines as a guitarist’s Swiss Army knife. Their ability to handle nearly any genre makes them one of the most versatile tools in a player’s arsenal. Stay inspired by experimenting with different styles, or find a tone that perfectly suits your favorite genre — our thinlines do it all.
Deluxe Maple Laminate
To be great is to be misunderstood. We’re true believers in the de-stigmatization of laminate guitars. The tightly compressed laminate woods dampen down overtones created by solid woods, and lend themselves to perfect tone production in louder environments. Every one of our laminated thinlines has a center block that runs the length of the body right down the center, which aids in the suppression of feedback and reinforces the top.
Antique Varnish
At the source of every great feature are highly skilled craftspeople who sculpt, refine and perfect a vision. The Antique Varnish process is no exception. The same team behind our respected Violin Varnish Shop painstakingly hand apply and age the full series of Antique Varnish Archtops, Thinlines, Acoustics and Mandolins. The resulting sound is pure and like no other.
