Eastman T64-T-IBM Iced Blue Metallic

A Modern Hollowbody Inspired by Classic Vintage Thinlines

The Eastman T64-T follows the tradition of fully hollow "thinline" electric guitars: an elegant format, slimmer than a classic archtop, designed to retain acoustic warmth while remaining very comfortable to play both standing and seated. Within the range, this model emphasizes the balance between resonance, comfort, and character, with a simple and effective recipe: laminated maple, ebony fingerboard, Gotoh bridge, and a pair of P-90s with a strong personality.

Who Is the Eastman T64-T Iced Blue Metallic For?

This guitar is an excellent choice for intermediate to advanced guitarists seeking an expressive hollowbody, but it remains perfectly accessible to a serious beginner looking to start on an inspiring and musical instrument. The Dog Ear P-90s excel in styles where playing dynamics make a difference: blues, roots jazz, vintage rock, garage, indie, and pop. When driven harder, a hollowbody can feedback more easily than a solid body: this is also part of its charm, provided you manage amp placement and gain levels.

Sound: Laminated Maple, Hollow Body, and P-90s Front and Center

The laminated maple body delivers a clear attack, well-defined highs, and tighter lows compared to darker tonewoods, helping maintain clarity in chords. The fully hollow construction adds an airy dimension, a "living" feel under the fingers, and a pleasant woody character in clean tones, with a nice openness in the lower mids. Regarding pickups, the Tonerider Dog Ear P-90s provide an organic grain, singing mids, and a slight roughness that responds immediately to touch: in clean mode, you get a rich, nuanced snap; in crunch, attacks stand out with an ideal bite for riffs and expressive leads.
The classic electronics setup of 2 volumes, 2 tones, and a 3-position selector allows quick tone shaping: lowering the volume cleans the sound without dulling it, and the tone controls help shift from retro brightness to a jazzier smoothness. The combination of ebony fingerboard and short scale (24.75") promotes a smooth playing feel, easy bends, and precise articulation, especially enjoyable for blues phrasing and jazz voicings.

Recommended Compatible Accessories

To get the most out of this hollowbody, consider a set of 6-string electric guitar strings (gauge depending on your touch and tuning), a comfortable strap for long sessions, and a quality 6.35 mm instrument cable to preserve the dynamics of the P-90s. A tuner and some picks of various thicknesses will also help explore the full range of the instrument's nuances.
