    I have this guitar in red, with flame that is not to be believed. And I agree with you, it is an amazing instrument. I have YET to have anyone play it that didn't rave over it. Eastman makes some sensational instruments.

    If I didn't already have a double humbucker semi-hollow I would get one. I already have Eastman's casino, 59 LP, and a mandolin. I've accidentally become an Eastman collector, they make amazing instruments for the money.

    That guitar is drop-dead gorgeous! I am very impressed. And I have heard nothing but great things about this guitar. In fact, I just ordered one in the 'Classic' red finish for myself today. Thanks for a great review!

    Looks may be secondary, but they're important for your look as a performer. Also, a beautiful guitar inspires one to play. That Eastman is a beauty.

    Love the Eastman guitars. I got my lefty in red a couple of years ago. I've since bought an SB59 as well. That too is fantastic (this could be your next one Tony). Finish is either nitro or something called truetone they switched around 2020 it seems.

    Love my T486! Same color as yours too! The finish is possibly nitro depending on the year it was made. Eastman switched to a thin poly finish called "truetone" around mid 2021.

    Eastman can only be compared to Collings. In build quality. You’re holding a $7000 guitar in your hands. Handmade! And once people start to catch on? You’re going to see the prices skyrocket on eastman.

    I have a 2020 T386 SB on the way. The finish looks to be nearly mint. I am debating whether to degloss the back of neck when it arrives. I'm not sure what the finish is on these newer Eastman guitars. Anyone know? Might be hard to mess with that gorgeous finish, even to speed up the neck. But ... not sure.

    • @addictedtogear

      Glossy Eastmans used to have nitro finish, but at the ending of 2021 they decided to switch to a urethane finish they call Truetone.

    I own an Eastman archtop and it is excellent. However, I hate that they bind the f-holes. When the eye falls on the f-holes of these beautiful guitars they really do start to look cheesy.
