Eastman Sb59L/V-Gb Goldburst

A single cut inspired by great references, designed for the discerning player

The SB59L/V-GB fits within the spirit of classic "single cut" solid bodies that have marked the history of rock and blues, while emphasizing carefully selected components and finishes. This left-handed model, with body and neck binding and details (ivoroid binding, "crown" pearl inlays, pearl headstock logo), clearly targets guitarists seeking a vintage aesthetic without compromising manufacturing precision.

For which guitarist and styles?

This electric guitar is particularly suited for intermediate to expert levels, or for a beginner musician already guided, who wants a very high-quality and stable foundation over time. With its humbuckers and sustain-oriented lutherie, it excels in rock, blues, classic rock, hard rock, and all genres where a dense, singing, and dynamic sound is expected. The 3-position selector facilitates quick changes between thick rhythm tones, warm neck pickup sounds, and punchy bridge pickup leads.

The sound

The combination of a solid flamed maple top and mahogany provides a highly sought-after balance: maple enhances attack, definition, and presence, while mahogany thickens the low-mids and promotes generous sustain. The ebony fingerboard adds a crisp and articulate response, ideal for precise phrasing and complex chords. The two Lollar Imperial humbuckers, paired with renowned components (CTS 500K potentiometers, Sprague Orange Drop capacitors, Switchcraft output), deliver a rich and nuanced tone: fullness and warmth on the neck pickup, bite and projection on the bridge pickup, with excellent clarity in both overdrive and clean settings.

Recommended compatible accessories

To stay true to the original setup, a set of D'Addario NYXL .010 - .046 strings is perfectly suitable. For connection to an amplifier or pedalboard, a 6.35 mm jack cable fits the Switchcraft output jack.
