You don’t look at the mantelpiece when you’re poking the fire
The best sounding, playing LP style guitar on the market that doesn't cost $3,500, and you can't buy it because of the headstock? You didn't even play it....smooth move, Ex Lax.
I bought the Eastman T486B. It is Murphy Lab Custom Shop quality for a fraction of the price of an ES 335. Seymour Duncan P90s do it all, from smooth jazz, to screaming Alvin Lee. Why in heaven's name would I drop upwards of $8K for a Gibson when I can own something exponentially better for under $2K?
I tried a 59v last week, and its the best guitar i have ever had in my hands. Highly recommend to try one out, especially with the varnish finish.
It feels like a well loved old friend, and i cant stop thinking about that guitar. Will probably get one within the next few weeks.
Oh and you dont see the headstock when you play 😉
I owned a SB59v and it is outstanding. Unfortunately sold it to fund the irrational “want” for a Gibson 😂
I have an 59/v as well, as good as my 2021 R8. Both amazing, but considering the price of the Eastman is a no brainer. And yes, love the Antique varnish feel too and look.
I have one. It is astounding, and I've never played a Gibson as good.
Did you get one ? I have one and I just want to know if you got one , I love it
I got the SB57V black and the t486
That was funny as hell! I just bought one and and can't believe how fantastic it is. Having owned 4 Gibson custom shop jock straps, I'll take this maxi pad all day long.
I own an SB59v, SB55v, SB55dc/v (with Wolfetone P90 Meaner), T386 (with upgraded Wolfetone pups), and an E10P. They are, hands down, the best guitars I own, better than my Nash T-63, Jeff Beck Strat or Rick 360-12.
The quality is simply incredible for the price point. My T386 and both SB55s cost less COMBINED than one ES-335.
It's a beautiful headstock...what tf do you want it to look like?
I like that headstock, i use one every month
HAHAHA. You win.
That was great! 🤣🤣
Definitely not about a Head Stock it was about someone’s mind! My apologies, this was an embarrassing review. Eastman will be my next guitar!
Good answer,,I don’t see the big deal with it
NOW THATS FUNNY! LMMFAO!!! 😂🤣😂🤣
You play an Eastman, you forget about the headstock
If I play an eastman, I wont know the difference. LOL
Omg thank God I wasn’t drinking my coffee when you landed the punch line. Bahhhhhhhh haaaa !!! Dude I’m so shallow but I can’t help it.😂😂😂
I agree. A bad headstock ruins a guitar. There's another LP brand, top notch guitar, plays amazing. But the headstock looks like a camping shovel. (Heritage)
Lol and here I am loving the heritage headstock design.
Yea. The reason i did not buy a Stanford Vanguard jazz box.
Probably go for D'Angelico , D'Aquisto or some of the Peerless models. That headstock is a piece of Art.
I got my eastman e10 ss acoustic a month ago (after 8 month of waiting, which was fine for me) and I am very happy with it. It really sounds great and the quality is awesome. it was worth the wait. I would recommend: go for it!
I have an SB57N and its been great. I chose that over a white LP custom. If the headstock bothers you, then get something else that visually suits yours needs? If you want an excellent playing and sounding guitar, get the Eastman.
I honestly don't have an issue with the heads stock on my Eastman AR371CE which I love a lot! The acoustic sound of it resonates and just really never thought the gheadstock was ugly nor did any of my friends even insinuate it being ugly. The brand name "Eastman" on the headstock is simple and says a lot abnout the guitar if especiually jazz players who very are familiar with the brand.
I love my Eastmans. I have martins and Furchs as well and theyre fantastic but for the money, you really cant do better in my opinion than Eastman.
You're so funny. Buy what you like. No reason to settle. Life is too short and full of other compromises.
I feel for you Danny.
I already have an Ibanez Jem 7V, and keep looking at the new PIa, but those over ornate pickups
and no monkey grip just put me off.
When i compare them side by side, i just can't pull the trigger on buying the Pia.
All i can advise is keep looking, if that headstock turns you off, then don't buy one.
That perfect guitar is still outhere just waiting for you.
You are killing me with the Epi head stock stuff! I can't look at it the same anymore...
Used heritage h-150 standard! This seems the route you should go! Its the route I am going! Played the dirty lemon burst last weekend in a Guitar Center and its just a great instrument. Its like buying a kia or hyundai though...if you buy new the value collapses the minute you walk out the door so the key is to find someone who bought one but never played it...They go for around 1700-2000 used on reverb.
if you are going to get an Eastman, you have to go all out and get something you can't get anywhere else
That's nonsense! The end of thn headstock flares out and then they've taken a tiny bit off the corner, not a big chunk like the old Epiphone at all. You've magnified that corner so that it initially looks like that but it's not like you're describing it. Pull back and show the entire headstock and there's more similarity to the Gibson headstock than the Epiphone.
I sold both because I needed the $, but at 1 time I had a gibson les paul trad pro v and an eastman sb59v. The headstocks are very similar in my opinion. So much so that I wondered why Gibson hadn't sent them a cease and desist. They are much more like a gibson shape than either epiphone lp shaped headstock. Just mt 2 cents worth.
i hear that they sued a bunch and the courts have decided that certain aspects can sue and other can not, so since these court papers are public I think, other companies can just go by what the court said
Feel that way about prs headstock but I like Eastman headstock. It looks balanced and class and less likely to injure someone!
That's a shame Danny, Eastman are fabulous guitars.
I have a T486, basically a 335 style guitar, and everyone who plays it wants it.
I’ve just bought the vintage version of Eastman sb59 the best guitar I have ever owned and I’ve had plenty over the years. Are you buying a guitar or a headstock this is a no brainier buy the thing you will not regret it.
I posted this on one of your other posts , i think it fits here as well Heritage guitar are closest to a gibson it is a bunch of workers from a original factory in Kalamazoo who bought the factory and original luther machines and build to old gibson spec. They make some of the best guitars out there and they are priced about same as gibson..Collens make great guitars but expensive but both have headstocks that are not as accustomed to like gibson it comes down to if you are willing to buy and pay a lot of money for a reg cnc guitar a guitar just for the headstock or weather you want a quality build...
you did not comprehend... maybe you should watch the video again....
@@guitarhobbywithdannythemedic Then you should look into Tokai LPs, they have the Gibson Headstock and Format!
I have the sb59. I know that everybody have their own way to see things... yet I think you should get one and try it at least and then we will see if you will care about headstock.
Oh, Danny. Push through the pain!
Get over the headstock thing man. I just bought a Romeo California - its genuinely the nicest Guitar I've ever played
So you refuse to buy what is an amazing instrument because you don't like the headstock, which you won't even see when you're playing it..
Maybe try going the custom guitar route, spec'd exactly how you want it.
The head stock wouldn’t bother me , the Eastman is one hell of a guitar , 😊
I agree.. They could put the headstock they have on their acoustic, it looks way better.
And the guy havé a lot Of Harley Bentons behind him! 🤣🤣🤣
Take it to a luthier. He can reshape and refinish the headstock for a couple hundred dollars. Frankly, you should spend your energy and your heart into practicing and stop worrying about cosmetics. Duke Ellington said, “if it sounds good, it is good“.
I love you - boy how much I need to laugh!
Now I've seen this video before!
I can recall that tortuous journey of experimenting with guitars. The more you know, the less you want to know, you just want your own personal inspirational instrument, yet it seems money isn't an issue for you; but of course if you're going to spend it, you better feel good about the aesthetics 🙄 ..
Eastman aesthetics are fine! A well made guitar covers a multitude of sins.
You are so funny in this video you, take up the strain. Crucial release, laughter 😊 ❤
There are guitarists, and then there are people who buy guitars.
People who buy guitars are more worried about the esthetics, or the name on the headstock, than they are about tone, quality, and playability.
Guitarists can choose their instruments blindfolded, and not care about a headstock design or name brand.
But then, that's why the big names are so successful
Guess who YOU are?
BTW, many of us actually love the Eastman headstocks (along with the professional qualities).
The new epiphones are awesome I just got the 60s quilt top exclusive dark honey burst its amazing
Have you checked out the Collins dot headstock? Do you like that one?
I hear you, man! The shape of the headstock definitely matters. You gotta look at it every day. Funny post- and true!😄
You’re crazy. Eastman headstocks are sweet and they are the best instruments
Then buy a Gibson and deal with neck breaks.
I can only imagine that neck repairs provide even more tone!
Man I think you are missing the true benefit here. They are ultra-absorbent! Even if you don't "Play Authentic", you could still avoid any un-timely...mishaps...
my sb59v goldburst is magnificent & only 7.5lbs! lollar pick ups sound amazing, just all around perfection!!! Blows the R9 I played a few weeks ago and that thing cost $8200. Lol
Hilarious. But I do remember watching your video about the Harley Benton Les Paul jr. the other day, and THAT headstock makes the Eastman look AMAZING in comparison. That Harley Benton headstock looks like your girlfriend's maxi pad the next morning in the bathroom trash can.
bent in the top all wrinkly right????
@@guitarhobbywithdannythemedic exactly!
I think the headstock is cool!
Just get over it!!
YOU NEED A HERITAGE
🤣 👌 your channel is under rated, i hope to see to grow and grow, u deserve it.
I don't mind the headstock.. have you seen the Latitude headstock? it looks like you are going to stab someone with it!
I bought an Eastman acoustic. Holds it's own with a Taylor auditorium. Js. Excellent guitar
😭 the Eastman will weep hard without love 😊
This was so funny, and I don't even have the faintest idea was a 'headstock' is'! Is a headstock the bottom of a guitar?
I knew it was “the headstock “ 🤣🤣
Seriously the Headstock?
Danny's repugnance for Gibson doesn't end at just picking at Gibson's flaws, but also seeps into his purchasing patterns of other guitars! That's true love there!
I hear you. About two years ago I bought a beautiful Epiphone Sheridan. I did like its sound and enjoyed playing it. But every time I saw that massive headstock and over-the-top tree-of-life monstrosity, I'd cringe. After a while I had to get rid of it. I got something I really like.
The Sheridan is ugly as hell, there's no way around it.
You can have the headstock reshaped, dude. And tbh, I probably would 😅
Nah you're on my side. Something about that style of head stock, I think you put it right it's just like a bar soap holder. I hate too, and wish I did not, but I do care. A guitar is a piece of art and I don't mind simplicity and don't care about the bling but that thing is fugly.
If you don’t like it, you don’t like it. I won’t buy pedals that I don’t like the look of, even if I really like the sound. It might be controversial, but I personally find that very few headstocks do not detract from the look of the guitar, and only one actively improves the look - a nice large 70s Stratocaster headstock 😝. All that being said, the Eastman headstock is not a problem for me, and the general classiness of the guitar (materials, build quality, feel, look and sound) are superior to anything of less than custom shop price 9and are on at least a par with these).
This is the best video on the internet and I can relate 💯
Don’t worry it really doesn’t look like an Epiphone headstock. It’s really not the same. They are really not bad.
That's why I got rid of my Heritage. The headstock is just fugly.
Benedetto headstocks duplicate early Epiphones. They used that design first.
I know what you mean regarding the headstock, I believe the newer variants are being made slimmer at the top I guess because of people making similar comments so eastman's decided to address the issue so as not to loose potential sale's from similar folk that "can't buy an eastman" for such reasons,well... I guess that's why they've done it 🤷♂️
Is that all? Is the headstock not to your liking? I think we're nitpicking here a bit.😅
Dude, what the ...🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Lol, that is, I'm not the only one)Epiphones are fucking terrible.But Eastman's guitars are great, they're worth putting up with this flashback
have u seen the new epiphones lately? many are pretty good
You should switch to electric tuba and get a new life
Whatever... Then don't buy it?
Mmm I've only heard demos and reviews of Eastman... they sound amazing! One piece mahogany body and neck bone nut...
All you got to do is put a rubber over the headstock
Burny rlg, it ticks everything even the headstock
I own a very nice 89 LP, modern epi LP, vintage 90 Ibanez custom etc and I agree that the Gibsons are over priced. I only purchased mine because I fell in love with how it played, not the brand or headstock. And I will be the first to tell others that Gibsons quality suck, thats why everyone of their guitars are different.
BUT, I have NEVER met an Eastman SB owner that didn't absolutely LOVE their guitar or regretted their purchase. If I was to buy a 3k guitar today, it would be an Eastman... one of the only LP makers that are known to be best LP's you can get today.
That is a crap head stock design anyway unless you want your G string to be out of tune all the time. 6 in line or 4x2 or a 3x3 with the strings pulling in a straight line from the nut to the tuners is the only way to go.
I 100% agree. I hate the headstock. Especially on their 335 variants. (They seem very Epi-esque)
BUT….
I freaking love how my SB-56 plays. It’s my favorite guitar. It really does put a smile on my face when I play it. My Gibson hangs on the wall next to an empty space while I play my Eastman.
Lol 😂. Hilarious. I got an Edwards and fuckin love it but my Eastman acoustic is sick as well
Or a Fender Custom Telecaster FMT HH AM IL very nice guitar
😂that’s going a little too far. But having owned an Eastman SB59V I can tell you you will find it overpriced. It is better than the Gibson USA for 2800 but I’m not sure you’ll appreciate it more than your HB guitars. I’d be interested in seeing that video comparison.
Honest question, do you think you could look past the headstock if Eastman had an affiliate program?
if they were to give me ONE FOR FREE... YES I will take it, and I will file the headstock into a different shape. but to spend 2K, no....
@@guitarhobbywithdannythemedic Maybe we can start making headstock caps. I'd like to fix the PRS headstock too.
@@guitarhobbywithdannythemedic also, have you checked out any Tokais or FGNs? I am not sure if they are available where you live.
Nobody got the joke! because it is a joke right?
Hey! Sucks you don't like the headstock. The Gibson HEadstock is awesome and the Epiphone is not that nice, but the Eastman I think is muuch better than the Epiphone. I have an SB59/v and the guitar is so so good (as good as my R8 2021), but it cost less than half than the R8 new.
Never had issue with the headstock myself with the Eastman. That are you mentioned is not as pronounced as the Epi headstock. And when Im playing never notice that at all.
If it is a big big deal for you, probably will bug you always, but if you can get past it, DO IT! I just love my Eastman. It's such a great guitar in every way. In my opinion totally superior than Gibson USA for sure and even superior to a Heriatge Standard Aged I had as well.
An option would be grab one and see if you can return it. But I'm sure the headstock will not be an issue after you play the guitar for yourself.
Dude, get over yourself, and your decision to not buy a guitar because of the headstock. There are many high quality guitars out there, but for the money you won’t find one that plays or sounds better than an Eastman. If you want a great sounding guitar for a reasonable price, the headstock should not matter.
=== Get a Lowden guitar. You can not go wrong with them. ===
If you want to advertise for Gibson.....GET PAID to do so....I have 2 killer Epiphones that get played and a Gibby LP that never gets played...I'll play Gibsons gladly with a sponsor....not on my own dime ever again.
Get a 63 vintage strat.
Your loss. They’re great guitars.
I'd play in public with an Eastman, no trouble at all.
I can't have an Epiphone for the same reason. I would rather have an Eastman anyway.
Eastman headstock > your jokes
Trust me you should reconsider!
No Maxipad Headstocks!!!!!!!!
Yòu made me cry, from laughter.
Luckily, I work with wood and i have altered ALL the headstocks on my guitars. Acoustic and electric. I like my strings to be strait...like a fender.
But, I get you dilemma. 😂. The freaking G and D strings.
I get the joke
can you play guitar ?
I am not a musician in any way shape or form. this is a hobby
But they do sound good. Just too bad about the design.
Danny Co-Medic
Lmao, well now sir you can’t buy the Eastman SB-59 with no worries. The Epiphone headstock is now the open Book Gibson. What are Gibson lovers gonna do???
Guild guitars are worse and it isn’t extremely different than a Taylor headstock. This is silly…. Lol
How about a PRS SE Zach Myers MB ? Semi Hollow , I'm thinking of buying one.
I dont like F holes... afraid of roaches getting in
cockroaches could help improve tone and sustain 🤔🤔
