Apologies for refering the Gibson 335 as a 355. I had been on the phone for most of the morning talking to dealers about a Guild D55 so the number 55 was stuck in my head!
I bought 3 second hand Eastman T486’s each with different pickups, all mint condition, plus a second hand tonemaster delux reverb amp, total cost cheaper than 1 Gibson 335. They are phenomenal guitars, without doubt best value on the market.
I just got one. This was one of the videos contributing to my decision. And wow, am I happy. Plays as butter out of the box. Sustain is unbelievable. I play fingerstyle and the slightly wider nut is perfect. I’m in love 🥰
Beautiful sound rendering here...something that cannot always be said in guitar reviews, even those from people with a lot more subscribers that yourself. Beautiful guitar too (Eastman's are simply great).
I have the Eastman 59SB Les Paul and it’s my favourite Les Paul. It looks like a 59 Gibson burst and plays better than Gibson Les Paul Standard. It’s insane how good these guitars are. Also, got mine second hand, they don’t retain value like a Gibson but damn they play so much better
It’s so funny. I had never heard of Eastman. Not even sure how I ended up getting one. I’ve had an sb59 for a few months and like everyone says, it’s the best’59 spec guitar I’ve ever played. Now I want several more! I’m looking at an sb56 right now
Owned a 335 (Heritage's version)....nice...sold it. Got a T486 a couple years ago....WOW!!!!! Truly amazing tone...particular the neck pick up. Best sounding guitar of the 30 or so I've owned in recent years....only paid $1100 new/shipped. Gibson staining QC is better....several stain spots on the binding in places....my only 'gripe'. My SB59 GT is no slouch either...but again, the finish would be better on a Gibson (but at nearly 2x the cost..so....). Love Eastman!!!
I have had gibson 335 's , a few eastmans ( 330 and 335 ) and last year i had an stanford 330 and 335 type , all 3 brands are really well build guitars but stanford guitars are the cheapest .
How heavy? Mine is 8lbs 3oz which is better than any Gibson I've tried, and apparently not an unusual weight as I've seen one reviewed that was 8lbs 1oz.

I have a T64/V and yes it has blown my mind....I am loving it. This brand flew under my radar for years!
Love my Eastman sb 59, best guitar I've ever owned.

That’s great! Glad I could help you make a decision Tom. They really are superb guitars.
Agree I just bought a new T486 classic and it's a stunning guitar. I have been playing it through the Fender Mustang Micro can't get enough of it.
Congrats! I hear about this brand all the time. Never heard anything bad about them.
My t-185 Eastman solid all hand carved spruce and maple. It sounds beautiful with the Lollars ! Would not trade for any other!
Nice video mate, guitar sounds first class 😎
Just picked up the same T486B from Guitar Guitar, blown away by it! Perfect for those Oasis riffs✌🏻

Mine is getting Lollar Imperial pups soon.

Don't hear that much. My Eastman is spotless and so much better each Gibby I ever owned.
Love that spacey fx chain!
was thinking going for this or a D'Angelico Deluxe SS
Very nice guitar 😎🤟
I've changed the Humbucker to Gibson 490R & T.

So we know what your effects sound like, but not the guitar
What's with the fog in your room? 🤣
If you think the 486 is cool, wait till you try a T-186 or T-185 or T-184.
Great guitar have one…..heavy

my 335 is in the closet
Too much distortion. Let’s hear what the guitar sounds like.
It's reverb mate, not distortion.
@@Lunarrescuemusic was the opening riff improvised?
@@Lennie_peled yes mate, I’m not an especially good lead player to be honest
@@Lunarrescuemusic I think it was awesome! Keep going
completely hollow??
Nope, semi
@@teodelnorte thanks
T 185 is hollow all solid wood. No lam
