2020s Eastman T486RD Semi-hollow 335-Style Electric Guitar

Overview: This Eastman entry into the saturated, 335-style electric guitar market is a slightly-different take on the venerable design. Their neck has a slightly shallower board radius than a Gibson and a bit of a different neck feel, too. The trim is fancier (celluloid "ivoroid" binding throughout with multi-ply edging all over as well) and it has big-block pearl inlay rather than pearloid stuff. The f-holes are bound an the cherry finish is elegant and the flamed-maple veneer pops under it.

This is a newer guitar and, aside from a little ding on the top (pictured) and a little usewear otherwise, is in great shape. Tonewise -- it does the '60s 335 thing, though it's a slick-looking-enough guitar that you could certainly fit this right into a jazz outfit.

Repairs included: It only needed a good setup and a quick wipe-down when it arrived. It's playing spot-on and ready to go.

Condition notes: Aside from the (pictured) ding in the top and a little bit of light use/very light scratching here and there in the finish, it's an essentially "shopworn" guitar -- very few miles put on it. The frets have only the lightest wear and we level and dress frets on pretty much anything that comes in for sale unless, like this one, it's just so light to not warrant it.

It comes with: It's got a nice hard case.
