Guitarist magazine: Gear of the Year

[AlanSam]

Guitarist magazine's Gear of the Year choices includes two Eastman guitars, one each in the Solid Body Electric and Semi Solid Electric categories
Eastman SB55/v:- ‘’Closest thing you’ll get to the real thing [vintage Les Paul Junior] at a fraction of the price.’’ And ‘’more proof that China can build superb guitars.''
Eastman Romeo:- ''The Romeo is a thoroughly modern take on the electric archtop, built exceptionally well and with its custom Lollar Imperials being the icing on the perfectly baked cake.'’ 

I would note that Guitarist magazine features little coverage of out and out acoustics.

Nice.  The SB55/v is an exciting addition, and most who have played the Romeo say that it's a really unique guitar.  Glad to see both models getting high praise.

Eastman does it again! Yay!

I moved this over to the Electric sub-forum, since both models are electric.

You forgot to mention the AC122-2CE on the Acoustic Guitars spread, pp130-131.
