congrats on a gorgeous looking and I am sure, sounding Eastman!

I am an acoustic player but if I would go electric just for the fun of it, I would consider this model. I would need something simple yet versatile. I thought this or the single cut SB55v might be a good choice. looks wise, I prefer the double cut version  Cool

enjoy your new Guitar!

I'd certainly consider one of those if I were in the market for an electric.

Still happy with my SB55DC/v.
I put on new strings and adjusted the intonation. The neck is just wonderfull with a buzz free low action, I've never played an guitar with such low action.
And it sounds great, both plugged and unplugged!

Looks great!  Sure love the natural finish Eastman produces with their electrics.  Enjoy.

Sweet!!!  I'm generally set on electrics, but I find myself really wanting one of those.

I just found a great sb55dc.  My question is about the finish.  Almost everyone I saw had the relic finish. I really don't like relicing.  I found one that has no relicing except the hardware. Beautiful finish. Were these an early run before the decided to mess them up?  Eastman! Give people the option!
