The SB Series is Eastman's solidbody line: classic single-cut and double-cut designs carved by hand from solid woods and finished in nitro or Antique Varnish. An SB59 delivers the carved-top experience players usually budget several times more for, and every one here ships set up from our Roswell, GA shop.

About the Eastman SB Series

Eastman applies its archtop carving to solidbodies here. The SB59 pairs a hand-carved maple top with a mahogany body and premium humbuckers; the SB59/v adds the Antique Varnish treatment. The SB57 and SB56 put the same carved construction behind different pickup and trim combinations, and the SB55 strips the recipe to a slab body and a single pickup, the working player's guitar. Left-handed builds like the SB59L come through regularly. Each listing is the exact guitar photographed, and sold models return with Eastman's next small-batch shipment.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between the SB59 and the SB59/v?

Same guitar, different finish. The /v wears Eastman's hand-applied Antique Varnish, lightly aged at the factory so it looks and feels decades old. The standard SB59 has a gloss finish. Both have the same hand-carved top and hardware.

How does an Eastman SB59 compare to other single-cut guitars?

It is built the old way: a hand-carved maple top on mahogany, a glued-in neck, and premium pickups, construction normally found on instruments at several times the price. Players cross-shopping vintage-style single-cuts routinely walk out of our showroom with the Eastman.

Do you get left-handed SB models?

Yes. Left-handed builds like the SB59L come through our Eastman orders regularly. If one is not listed, call and we will check the next shipment.
