Hi all,
After buying my 335, I now need to sell some guitars to replenish the coffers.
First up is my Eastman SB59. I bought this new from Music Street in Huntingdon in 2018.
Unfortunately, since I completed the weight reduction work on my Les Paul it hasn't seen much use. I kept it as a backup, but now I have the 335 and I don't need it for that role either, so it's time for it to go.
It's in near mint condition, with just a couple of very tiny marks which can only really be seen from a distance of a couple of inches. The frets have no discernible wear on them, and it has recently had a full set up and new Elixir 9's on it.
The neck feels like a proper 59 neck - a bit chunkier than my 92 Les Paul neck, but certainly no baseball bat. It's completely original, it comes with the stock Seymour Duncan classic 59 pickups - and I've never felt the need to change them. It's also pretty light, only weighing 8.5lbs. It certainly beautifully made from some of the best woods I've ever seen. The fretboard is ebony, and has a wonderfully slick feel to it. The maple cap on the front has a lovely flame, and the back of the guitar has a lovely shimmering mahogany figuring (see the pix below).
I've never played a gig with this guitar. It's only ever been used for recording and the occasional band practice, so it looks and feels like a new guitar.
It comes with the original plush case, certificate of authenticity, monogrammed cleaning cloth and the adjustment tools (which are completely unused).
I'm advertising it on reverb for £1150, but on here I'll let it go for £1000 (plus £50 shipping) or very near offer.

anyone lend me some cash, or lower the price a bit?
