Eastman T59/TV Classic

A T59/v: The Eastman Semi-Hollow Spirit in Thinline Version

The T59/v embodies Eastman's DNA: special attention to lutherie details and finishes, with an aesthetic inspired by classic "semi-hollow" references and a Thinline format designed for guitarists who want the tone and presence of a semi-hollow without the bulk. The "v" designation refers to a more vintage approach in look and intent, perfect for classic and expressive sounds.

Who Is It For, and Which Styles?

This Eastman is well suited for intermediate to advanced guitarists seeking a semi-hollow electric guitar that is comfortable and expressive. The Thinline format is particularly suitable for styles that require dynamics and definition: blues, jazz, soul, vintage rock, pop, and any situation where attack and touch response make a difference. With its 22 Medium Jumbo frets, it remains comfortable for modern playing techniques (bends, vibrato) while maintaining a "traditional" feel.

Sound

The laminated flamed maple used for the top, back, and sides promotes a clear and precise response, with good note sustain and excellent chord definition, particularly useful with crunch and moderate overdrive tones. The combination of maple neck and ebony fingerboard delivers a crisp attack, a fast feel under the fingers, and very clear articulation, ideal for jazz voicings, blues double-stops, and rock riffs. The Thinline format contributes to a tighter and more focused sound than a deeper body, with a good balance between acoustic presence and amplified control.

Recommended Compatible Accessories

You can safely equip it with a set of electric guitar strings suitable for the 628 mm / 24.75" scale length, as well as a standard strap and picks according to your picking style. An electric guitar capo is also appropriate if needed.
