The Eastman T486B-SB captures the essence of Gibson's ES-335 design in a semi-hollow, feedback-resistant thinline body, built from Deluxe Laminate Maple and finished in nitrocellulose lacquer for genuine vintage charm. The ebony fingerboard's split block pearl inlays and double cutaway body reflect the boutique-level attention Eastman puts into every semi-hollow.

A pair of Seymour Duncan Phat Cat pickups gives this T486B-SB a distinctive P-90-style punch, running from warm cleans to gritty blues, while the Bigsby vibrato adds retro flair and expressive pitch control. This 2022-built example is in excellent condition with almost zero playwear and fast, slinky action, making it ideal for players after ES-335-style tone and feel without the vintage price tag. It has had Schaller straplocks fitted and is currently strung with flatwound strings, but is otherwise all original, and includes its original hardshell case.
