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 one is hand finished with their antique varnish and it has a beautiful amount of subtle and respectful aging while also simply giving the guitar a wonderfully worn-in vibe that makes it instantly feel like a long lost friend.

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. The high-quality pickups, hardware, tonewoods, and electronics will satisfy even the most discerning of players. This particular one also has a beautiful piece of mahogany that has some serious flame figuring on it.

The fit and finish on this is absolutely superb with excellent fretwork that allows for nice, low action right out of the gate. The pickups have a PAF quality to them that maintains a bright and vocal-like tone for a humbucker. It makes for a very versatile guitar that can do anything from warm and mellow to bright and aggressive. Whether you're playing clean, with light bluesy distortion, or some heavier rock with more saturation, this is going to hang in there with the best of them and reminds us of the good ol' days of singlecut guitars like this that contributed to cementing this style of guitar in rock n roll history.

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.
