The Eastman T486B-RD Cherry Red is a semi-hollow electric guitar built as a genuine tribute to the classic ES-335 shape, finished in a lustrous gloss cherry red that showcases the figure of its deluxe flamed maple laminate top, back and sides. A full 16-inch lower bout and a 24.75-inch scale length give the T486 a resonant, feedback-resistant semi-hollow voice, while a Bigsby Licensed Vibrato B70 adds smooth, controllable pitch bends and extra shimmer to every chord.

A pair of Seymour Duncan humbuckers, a '59 in the neck and a Jazz in the bridge, gives the T486 a rich, expressive voice suited to rock, jazz, blues and country alike. The ebony fingerboard, adorned with pearl split-block parallelogram inlays across 22 frets and a 12-inch radius, makes for effortless playability, and nickel hardware with a single-acting truss rod keeps the guitar stable and easy to fine-tune. Ideal for players who want the classic semi-hollow ES-335 experience with the added expressiveness of a genuine Bigsby vibrato, complete with the original hardshell case.
