The Eastman SB55/V-SB pairs a cap-less, one-piece Okoume solid body with a lightweight build and a genuinely open, resonant voice. Its Antique Varnish top coat finish smooths the guitar's texture while widening its tonal character, and a one-piece Okoume neck with ebony fingerboard, pearl Eastman logo and pearl dot inlays rounds out a specification built for players who want vintage looks with real tonal substance.

A Lollar "50's Spec" Dog Ear P90 in the bridge delivers a rich, defined tone with reduced distortion, letting chordal nuance and subtle playing detail come through clearly, while premium Faber hardware, including a compensated Faber bridge, keeps intonation locked in. The no-load tone pot bypasses itself entirely at 10 for an uncoloured signal, or behaves as a standard tone control below it, ideal for players chasing warm, growling P90 tone with genuine vintage character.
