Why the Eastman SB59 Might Be the Best Les Paul You’ve Never Played
Everyone knows the Gibson Les Paul. Fewer players know about the Eastman SB59 — a guitar built to rival Custom Shop quality at half the price.
With hand-carved tops, nitro finishes, and Lollar pickups, this guitar isn’t just a “budget Les Paul” — it’s a craftsman’s alternative that plays like a dream and punches way above its price.
🔥 Why It Beats the Brand Name:
Solid carved maple top, one-piece mahogany back
Stock Lollar Imperial pickups (not cheap!)
Nitro finish for real resonance
Comfortable, vintage-feel neck
Price New: ~$1,900
Price Used on Reverb: ~$1,300–$1,700
