Eastman SB56 Vintage Satin – Authentic P90 tone with modern playability

The Eastman SB56 Vintage Satin is a hand-built single-cut electric guitar designed for players who seek the pure character of P90 pickups in a comfortable and highly expressive instrument. Thanks to its thin Truetone Satin finish, okoume body, and high-quality hardware, this guitar feels immediately lively, resonant, and highly responsive. It’s an ideal choice for musicians who love vintage vibes but rely on modern reliability.

Eastman SB56 Vintage Satin – Craftsmanship, tone and character combined

The Eastman SB56 Vintage Satin blends traditional construction principles with modern precision. Its foundation consists of a one-piece okoume body topped with a solid carved maple top—a combination that delivers warmth, definition, and excellent projection. The okoume neck features a Traditional Even “C” profile that feels comfortable in the hand, while the 12" rosewood fingerboard enables smooth bends and clean articulation.

Equipped with Tonerider V90N-CR and V90B-CR P90 pickups, this model offers the open, dynamic character that P90s are celebrated for. Their authentic bite, warmth, and presence make the SB56 remarkably versatile: from subtle jazzy cleans to gritty rock and expressive blues. The guitar responds immediately to dynamics—play softly for bright detail, dig in and it roars. CTS pots, Orange Drop capacitors, and the Göldo switch ensure reliable and musical control.

The hardware reinforces the vintage spirit. A Gotoh GE101A-NI tailpiece, GE-104B-NI bridge, and Derjung vintage-style tuners deliver tuning stability and a classic feel. The Truetone Satin finish adds a played-in look while enhancing resonance and acoustic response.

Playability and applications

The SB56 Vintage Satin feels instantly familiar. The balance between the okoume body and carved maple top makes long playing sessions comfortable. Thanks to the P90 pickups, the guitar suits a wide range of styles—band rehearsals, studio recordings, and live performances. Pair it with a tube amp, modelling setup or a full range of effects pedals and you’ll uncover new tonal possibilities with ease.
