WTB Eastman SB55 Or Gibson LP Junior or Maybach Junior

Looking to buy a Junior Singlecut with a single P90.

Thinking of an Eastman SB55 but would consider a similar junior single cut with a single P90.

Ideally in Northern Ireland but if you can ship all the better

@Eric_C Cheers, I've been in contact with Simon. Although a used example would save my wallet and "5 year old" patience

I’ve owned multiple Eastmans and a Maybach. I’ve not played a bad example of either brand and both make stunning guitars. However, if I wanted that vintage mojo of an old Gibson, it’d be Maybach every day of the week. Good luck finding a s/h one that you can try out though, that bit is much harder.

Cheers @Teyeplayer - when you say vintage mojo of an old Gibson - is that just in regards to looks or do you mean tone as well?

Bit of both. They feel old and have that nicely worn-in thing going on. Eastman do their relic style that I’ve nothing against, but it isn’t as good as the Maybach equivalent -Maybach guitars look like an old guitar. Their spec and measurements are all based on vintage instruments too, so you get the nuance of the neck carve. The Maybach Amber pickups sound fantastic imo, and are well regarded. The only reason I no longer have mine is that the right Gibson es came up, otherwise it’d still be here.

This any good?

Edit: Well, it does have a single P90 technically…it just also has a spare. (Sorry!)
