Eastman T59/TV-RD: Vintage Soul and Master Craftsmanship
The Eastman T59/TV-RD from the Antique Archtop & Thinline series is a professional-grade instrument that captures the spirit of the legendary 1950s semi-hollow guitars. Featuring a 16-inch double-cut body crafted from Deluxe Flamed Maple laminate, it offers a rich, resonant acoustic voice with excellent feedback control. The exquisite Antique Varnish finish in Antique Red provides an authentic aged look and allows the wood to resonate freely.

The maple neck, shaped into a comfortable Traditional C-profile, provides a solid foundation for both rhythm and lead playing. An Ebony fingerboard with a 12-inch radius and 22 Jescar Medium Jumbo frets ensures a smooth, high-precision playing experience. Elegant Pearl Split Block inlays and a genuine bone nut further emphasize the high-end specifications of this thinline hollowbody.
