My T59v is the most versatile guitar I own. It can do everything from jazz to rock, and can easily cover Les Paul tones. Incredible finish and value, and the Antiquities are superb. I once owned - and sold - an original 1964 Gibson ES-345 but prefer my T59v in every respect.
I have this guitar with the Seth Lovers. I think those sound fantastic. Unfortunately I’m unable to provide you with a comparison since I haven’t playes the Antiquities. However as mentioned I really like those Seth Lovers with my T59.
I was lucky enough to go to a shop that had 4 T59v's. One amber with Seth Lovers and the rest had antiquities pickups. I played them all and preferred the Seth Lovers. They are slightly brighter but sounded much more versatile between the three pickup positions. It's all subjective and my main instrument at that point was a Fender MIJ telecaster, but after 18 months of use the T59v is my favourite guitar, closely followed by the T64v with Lollar p90's which I also love. In my case the T64v is 2.5 pounds lighter at 5lbs 10 ounces but out of the two the T59v gets played more.
Great, informative video mate. Just wondering what's the neck like on these? are they thin, chunky, somewhere in the middle? I own an Epiphone Sheraton and don't find the neck rounded at all which is a major downside personally. I can't try a T59V out first either so would be grateful of any advice on the neck profile.
I like the neck on my T59. I have quite large hands and fairly long fingers. The T59 has a bit wider nut (string spacing) compared to for example a Gibson ES-335 (or actually most electric guitars). This may make the neck feel a little chunkier. I really like the wider nut.
I would describe it as medium C. Feels a little chunky right now but I've been playing most gigs with a 2000's strat at the mo with is pretty slim. Always felt just right when I was playing in all the time.
I'm curious if you have any issues with the headstock configuration. The strings look extremely close to conflicting with each other reaching their perspective tuning heads. Thanks!
It's not ideal, which is why Eastman have changed it on the later models I guess. But to be fair, as long as I keep the nut lubed up with some Nut Sauce, it's very rarely and issue.

Handmade and best finish- superb guitar.
Couldn’t agree more
Brilliant review, I have the Eastman AC312Ce and the finish is fabulous, keeps in tune and just sounds Amazing.
Thanks. Great to hear you're enjoying your Eastman too.
Great review. Thank you. Looking at the Eastman T59v and the T486. Really helpful insight. Great playing.
which one did you go for in the end?
@@ekredel yes, the red one was my preferences finish
isnt one hollow?
@chrisrocco6429 no a centre block with the T59v. The t64v is hollow
Beautiful guitar and excellent playing.
Thank you!
Curious about those, unfortunately out of stock everywhere. Also cant judge if someone does not crank out some 1960s B.B. or Freddie King Licks on it.
Sounds great.
Thannk you
I have that guitar, it’s a dream . I can’t put it down
I traded for a 2018 t59/v the other day. It is truly excellent.
Totally agree man
Considering buying this. But the shops over here sell the t59 with Seth lovers instead of antiquities. Would it make a big difference?
From what I've heard, no. They're a very similar vibe due to the inspiration

I wouldn’t say the neck is chunky. It’s very similar to a Les Paul R9 that I played recently.

But what about the 18 month.
How is the neck is it a nice medium C or like a 60s slim taper?
