Eastman SB59-LTD-BK Limited Edition Guitar, Black, Pearly Gates Pickups

Player's Perspective

Music Store Live is proud to offer up this absolutely gorgeous singlecut LP-style axe from our friends at Eastman Guitars. This limited edition model comes loaded with Pearly Gates pickups from Seymour Duncan. These pickups are focused and punchy and remind you of the great Texas blues tones from back in the day. The pickups are based off of the PAF's in Billy Gibbons' '59 Les Paul. It's an iconic sound perfectly harnessed by this black beauty from Eastman.

We recently started carrying these guitars and we've blown away at the quality in craftsmanship and components relative to the price point. No corners were cut with this one. Everything down the potentiometers, capacitors, and output jack used are about as good as you can get in our industry. High-quality pickups, hardware, tonewoods, and electronics adorn this relatively affordable option that will satisfy even the most discerning of players.

At a sub-$1,500 price point, we don't know where you can find a better deal on a guitar of this style. They really do rock and this one's an absolute joy to play. It came perfectly set up right out of the box as we put it through its paces. The sound and feel are going to be instantly familiar and this guitar really leaves nothing to be desired.

This is a truly pro-quality instrument and, to make it even better, it's not a boat anchor like old LP's used to be. All of the tone without the backache. It's one of the more perfect gigging singlecut axes out there.
