I mean, for those of us who are mostly retired and sort of on a fairly strict budget for hobby stuff, a guy could do a lot worse than this Eastman SB59. You can't tell in the poor video quality, but the body is a one-piece mahogany, and the frets were bang on except way up top, and needed a bit of spot leveling/crowning. But nothing crazy out of bounds. Duncan 59's both neck and bridge. This is the first guitar I ever had with Duncan pickups. I've been a stock pickup guy or DiMarzio for more extreme 70's trash. These 59's are staying put.
Holy schmoly, what an amazing tone.
