Thanks Leftee, it reminds me of the 335 I had in high school. 1967, bought it new in Kansas City for $350.

I’ve not gone down the Eastman road. They do have a good offering of lefties.

Leftee, it’s only a little “further down the road”.
Nice and paved, no potholes that I’ve seen.

as a certain Lester says, "You DESERVE the best" - if it's a Gibson or otherwise.

Sir, I demand you adjust your attitude until you demand to deserve two.
Then and only then will you be aligned properly with the Nitroverse.

I won’t fight it! I do deserve two. The T59 with humbuckers would be a welcome addition as a brother to the T59.
Alas, they make you pay for these things.

Nice ES style with P90s Ryder. The red finish is classic.

Nice one, Ryder. I have a friend who's been trying to find one of those. (Some folks here might remember him as Gibson Guy on the FDP.) He's got one on order, but it's going to be a wait. As for myself... I love Eastmans. I have four them now. Awesome guitars!

Langford, Thanks and that’s a bummer he has to wait for it. Which one did he order? Bentley Guitar Studios, Parkville, MO, is the place I got mine. Owner is Mark Bentley, real nice guy. He sells on reverb also.
This one was just hanging on the wall waiting for me.

He sells on reverb also. This one was just hanging on the wall waiting for me. Gibson Guy ordered the same model as you. He has a couple of other Eastmans and is a fan. Unfortunately, he lives in Vancouver, so there's not as much inventory around and the exchange rate on the U.S. dollar is a real killer. I found one for him at 12fret.com for a fair price here in Toronto. Unfortunately, the store wanted to charge a hefty shipping fee, which pretty much bled the value from the deal. So, he waits. I was tempted to buy the guitar myself, but I held back as I already have an Eastman SB56 with Lollar P90s.... And I have already too many guitars.

The T64 is hollow and I love P90s in a hollow body. You need one of these too! 😂

You’ve become our local Eastman pusher.
Not that it’s a bad thing.

You’re doing well! Eastman might owe you a guitar before too long.
