Eastman SB56/S-GD

The singlecut that brings the golden age of the electric guitar into the present

The Eastman SB56/S-GD is a guitar that needs no introduction. From the moment you pick it up, it feels familiar—that rounded singlecut shape, the weight, the way it leans against your body. But beneath that classic exterior lies a guitar where every detail has been considered, from the carved solid maple top to the Tonerider V90 pickups that deliver pure P90 character.

The Okoume body with a carved solid maple top provides a warm, resonant foundation with just enough clarity in the highs. The Okoume neck with a Traditional Even C-profile and 12" radius rosewood fretboard sits comfortably in the hand, inviting both rhythm playing and melodic lead work on its 24 3/4" scale length. Pearl Crown inlays and ivoroid binding on the body and neck give the guitar a timeless, refined appearance that perfectly matches the golden Truetone Satin finish.

The electronics are thoughtfully and intentionally kept simple: two Tonerider V90 pickups—V90N at the neck, V90B at the bridge—controlled via Volume/Volume/Tone/Tone with CTS 250K pots, Orange Drop .022 capacitors, and Gavitt braided wiring. A Switchcraft output jack, Gotoh bridge and tailpiece, and Derjung vintage-style tuners in nickel complete the package. Includes a padded gig bag. For the player who knows it all starts with the right instrument.
