Eastman FT-SC_52-MB Moss Black

A vintage-inspired "single cut" designed for modern playing

With its single cut format and T-Style bridge with compensated brass saddles, the FT-SC_52-MB Moss Black follows the tradition of electric guitars with a straightforward and direct character, while adopting modern choices: torrefied woods, a more modern radius, and a noiseless bridge pickup. The result is an instrument that feels familiar in playability yet more comfortable for daily use, both on stage and in the studio.

For which guitarists and styles?

This electric guitar is especially aimed at intermediate to advanced guitarists seeking a responsive single cut capable of covering various genres. It excels in rock, blues, indie, pop, and funk: the neck pickup provides body for leads and thick rhythms, while the bridge pickup ensures precise attacks without unwanted noise, ideal for crisp clean tones and defined crunch.

The sound

The torrefied black limba body promotes a quick response and good midrange projection with solid sustain, while the torrefied maple (neck and fingerboard) adds attack and enhanced stability. On the electronics side, the Tonerider Soapbar Humbucker in the neck position delivers a dense, warm sound rich in harmonics, perfect for thickening a clean tone or pushing an overdrive. At the bridge, the Tonerider TQ1B-BK (offset noiseless singlecoil) retains the bite and definition typical of a bridge pickup while reducing hum: practical for recording and brightly lit stages. The 3-position selector, CTS 250K Audio Taper pots, and Orange Drop 0.022 uF capacitor provide smooth volume and tone transitions with ample adjustment range.

Recommended compatible accessories

To maintain the original string gauge and feel, you can choose a D'Addario NYXL 10-46 set (.010 - .046). A set of picks (various thicknesses) is also a safe choice to best exploit the attack of the bridge pickup and the warmth of the neck pickup.
