Eastman T486B 16" Deluxe Thinline Hollowbody w/ Bigsby Classic

Eastman T486B Classic

The Eastman T486B 16" Deluxe Thinline Hollowbody w/ Bigsby is the kind of guitar you want to pick up and play, every time you walk by it, and not only due to its incredible Classic Gloss TrueTone finish. TrueTone is an environmentally friendly finish, with the same consistency and superior tonal characteristics as nitrocellulose. Think of the T486B as a guitarist's Swiss Army knife - it can handle nearly any genre that you throw at it, from  blues, to jazz, rock, country, or rockabilly. It's no wonder the Eastman T486B is so versatile, with a deluxe laminated maple body and top, an ebony fretboard on a maple neck, Bigsby vibrato tailpiece, and a pair of Seymour Duncan Phat Cat pickups. These pickups add the thickness and warmth of P-90 tones, perfectly complementing the feedback-resistant design of this thinline hollowbody.  

The tightly compressed laminate woods of Eastman's laminated maple bodies and tops dampen down overtones created by solid woods, and lend themselves to perfect tone production in louder environments. Every one of Eastman's laminated thinlines has a center block that runs the length of the body right down the center, which aids in the suppression of feedback and reinforces the top.

At Riffs & Licks Music, we think the Eastman T486B is an incredibly well-constructed and versatile instrument, loaded with high quality tone woods, electronics and hardware, at a truly competitive price.
