This finally arrived this morning. Eastman T486 in red, wanted one in the classic finish "but you can't always get what you want" .
Anyways this is bloody nice, flame maple body and sides Nitro cellulose finish. Ebony fretboard, Seymour Duncan jazz & 59 p/ups and Hardcase included.

Re: NGD.
Actually quite fancy. Well done. Cool that they’re doing nitro...that’s new for them I think?

Re: NGD.
That looks lovely! I've been eyeing up Eastman guitars too. The great interweb seems to have little but good things to say about them. I can see one in my future if timing works out!

Re: NGD.
Kind of, all their top models are either nitro or even thinner french polish (for those who think nitro sucks out the tone). The nitro option is new, but it is kind of a step backwards in terms of old-school purity.

The french polish finish marks up really easily, however. It makes nitro seem like poly in comparisonolegmcnoleg wrote: ↑Tue Apr 27, 2021 4:07 pmKind of, all their top models are either nitro or even thinner french polish (for those who think nitro sucks out the tone).

French polish is easily fixable though, well it is if you have experience in french polishing.olegmcnoleg wrote: ↑Tue Apr 27, 2021 4:17 pmThe french polish finish marks up really easily, however.

Re: NGD.
The Music Works rep brought in some Eastmans for me to check out. I was very impressed with them. Really nice guitars. He had a 335 style with P90s abs a bigsby, really sweet guitar. Congrats!
