I have this exact guitar and can confirm the quality and tone you get for the price is absolutely rediculous. Custom shop level quality at regular USA prices. I can also confirm this kid is one of the best youtube demo players on the planet. His endless creativity and riffing is just a wonder to watch. God I wish I had his skills.
After weeks of researching, visiting various stores and spending hours auditioning guitars from numerous brands, this is the guitar I walked out of the store with, despite it not being initially on my radar. Just an amazing guitar and the build was flawless. Time will tell if my initial impressions are correct but for now, if I’m not playing it, I’m thinking about it! 😂
Did anyone have a problem with the talking? Bring it back I say. Jack’s views always worth hearing. Honestly though, the playing is another level. Peach Guitars is the only site where I’d pay to watch the demos.
No, and to be honest I could do without the playing. Any guitar can sound good with the right amp, effects, pedals and player. It really doesn't matter what it sounds like on UA-cam, especially on my phones speaker. What I want to hear is about the quality, materials, features, size and feel of the neck, etc. I got sick of all the uploads of just him playing riffs. As good as he is, I un-subscribed from this channel just now.
@@RByrne Wow... I'm sure the specs can be found online...plus, while he'd make a broomstick sound great...I doubt he'd demo 'junk'...or anything that's not worth a looksie. I love my two Eastman...on par with my Gibsons.
@@RByrne I agree to a point. I still click on them out of habit If it’s a less common guitar like this one, hence me replying to this, but I don’t watch them like I used to. If I just wanted to hear someone play, I would watch a live performance of real music. My guess is that they can get more videos out and cover more of their inventory this way, and it’s probably an experiment to see which drives sales more. If I was in the market for a new guitar right now, I’d be looking for videos where they talk about them for sure, so I feel like this is not a very good move. That’s my experience as a viewer, however their sales will determine whether they stick with this format or go another route.
@@yourefromdownsouth9728 yeah, those are pretty much my thoughts. If it's a guitar I've never seen, then illl click. I think it may just be there way of having a video demo of every guitar in the inventory, sort of like Trogly does.
Great playing! Guitar sounds amazing too. Plus one that you can talk too! I would value your opinion as you would make any guitar sound good. Is this Eastman any good?
The Eastman thinlines are great guitars. BUT I'm not a fan of how they angle the tuning machines on the headstock (not obvious from this video demonstration because the back of the guitar is not shown), rather than positioning them all perpendicular to the fingerboard. That little detail alone is deal killer for me. Eastman doesn't do this on their LP-style guitars.
Ya I agree, just in a weird position and it's irritating. But I think I can get over it because they are so well built. I own the SB59 I'm goldburst and it's killer. Rock on
I used to own an Epiphone LesPaul… sold it…saved money…tried several Gibson LesPaul standard…and…ended up buying an Eastman SB57 (equivalent to a LesPaul Custom) which is more expensive than the Gibson standard! 😂 Hands down the best guitar I have ever played. You should try them if you have the opportunity.
Im obsessed with the guitar and will be buying one soon but I mostly come back every few weeks just to listen to the incredible guitar work

@@RByrne you know, you’re right. Riffs don’t sell guitars, specs do.

Great demo , these have just come in my radar - pretty keen to give one a whirl after that demo 👍cheers
Unbelievable video, thank you
That riff make me sing it, Awesome playing!
@fabienares5577 what song is this?
The riff starting around 2:20 is killer. Well, more killer.
Bravo man.
Some great musical melody!
That riff is amazing. Great playing!
Great playing! Guitar sounds amazing too. Plus one that you can talk too! I would value your opinion as you would make any guitar sound good. Is this Eastman any good?
For the love of all that is GAS!!! Bring back the talking reviews. Please. Pretty please with sugar on top.
Is it completely hollow?
Yes this particular model is completely hollow.
The Eastman thinlines are great guitars.

Yeah. I plan to ditch those Kluson knock offs for some Grovers anyway.
Is that riff based on any particular song, or just right off the cuff ?
I want to see more Epiphones I could careless about Gibson or Eastman..
if you could care less, then you should
Why do you care?
I used to own an Epiphone LesPaul… sold it…saved money…tried several Gibson LesPaul standard…and…ended up buying an Eastman SB57 (equivalent to a LesPaul Custom) which is more expensive than the Gibson standard! 😂 Hands down the best guitar I have ever played.

@@Nikoo033 I own 2 Eastman love it still do as always
