2017 Eastman SB56/N Goldtop

A superbly crafted single-cut from Eastman’s acclaimed SB series, this 2017 SB59 in classic Goldtop finish delivers boutique-level quality and tone at a fraction of the price of its vintage inspirations. Built with meticulous attention to detail, it combines traditional design with Eastman’s renowned hand craftsmanship.
The one-piece mahogany body and neck provide rich sustain and warmth, complemented by a carved solid maple top that adds clarity and bite. The Goldtop nitrocellulose lacquer finish gives it a timeless look, subtly aged with a natural sheen. The neck features a comfortable ’59-style profile — full and rounded, but extremely playable — paired with a bound ebony fingerboard and pearl inlays.
Under the hood, a pair of Lollar Custom Aged Imperial humbuckers deliver articulate, open tones with exceptional balance. From warm, singing leads to crisp, dynamic rhythm work, the SB59 responds beautifully to touch and dynamics. High-quality hardware and electronics throughout — including Gotoh tuners, a Gotoh bridge, and CTS pots — ensure flawless performance and reliability.
In excellent condition with only light signs of use, this SB59 Goldtop is a testament to Eastman’s ability to build guitars that rival far more expensive instruments. Includes the original hardshell case.
