Hey everyone! Full disclosure, I'm a newcomer and don't currently own an Eastman myself (yet), but I've become quite smitten with them from what videos and photos I've seen online. As it stands, I plan on treating myself and getting an SB59/v in a year's time or so when I can hopefully afford it.
That said, I noticed that there was a similar thread over in the Acoustic Guitar section, but I've been wondering what we might see next from Eastman over on the electric side of their lineup. Obviously it will probably be awhile before we hear anything official from the company since Winter NAMM 2021 is cancelled due to COVID, but I think it's still a worthwhile topic to discuss.
Seeing as how the company's electric guitars largely draw influence from classic Gibson guitars of the 40's and 50's, do you think they'll continue with that direction and eventually release their own takes on designs like the Explorer, SG, Firebird or Flying V? Or do you think Eastman will continue more in the direction we've seen so far with the Romeo and begin to branch off into making new body shapes that somewhat evoke ideas of the electric guitars of yesteryear?
