New from Eastman!

The Stratocaster is a tried and true design - pivotal to the development of the electric guitar, and therefore music as a whole. Eastman took cues from history and their customers looking for a well designed and still budget conscious S style guitar. Enter the Fullertone series and the DC model. The name '62 harkens back to the well known Fender model, which changed the instrument then forward - Eastman taking the ideas all steps further...

A familiar S style double cut body that has a bit of offset-ness to be cool in the modern era. The Black Limba wood body is resonant and strong, seen here finished in the very cool Moss Black satin finish - something that is sure to age well with time. Looking at the future, it features Eastmans new long tenon, 2 bolt neck joint - with the idea of a stronger fit and easy to alter the angle if need be. The familiar 25.5" scale length is convenient, and vintage purists will appreciate the thicker vintage inspired C profile. Roasted maple and rosewood combo is instantly cool and will hold up well over time.

The electronics setup on this is certainly inspiring, especially for those used to a Stratocaster setup but maybe looking for some slight modern tweaks. Tonerider Single coils in the neck and middle are both noiseless - I'm not sure *how* they did it, but man is it convenient for recording and playing live in a buzzy room. The added Goldfoil soapbar humbucker in the bridge is a great touch with the vibe-y modern players finding the tone super useful and complimentary in the bridge.

A fantastic fit & finish from our favorite modern guitar company - all punching far above its price point.
