Eastman Guitars has once again redefined excellence with the launch of the new FullerTone SC'52 and DC'62 models, unveiled at NAMM 2025. These guitars capture the essence of Eastman’s craftsmanship while building upon the innovative designs of master luthier Otto D’Ambrosio. With a perfect fusion of tradition and modernity, the FullerTone series represents an exciting new chapter in Eastman’s legacy.

The Influence of Otto D’Ambrosio

Otto D’Ambrosio’s impact on guitar design is nothing short of legendary. Known for his meticulous attention to detail and innovative approaches, D’Ambrosio’s earlier models, such as the El Rey series, set a new standard for excellence. Retailing around £3,000, these handcrafted instruments featured the revolutionary FullerTone neck design—a patented two-bolt, long-tenon connection that ensured unparalleled stability, sustain, and tonal clarity.

Recognizing the demand for more accessible high-quality instruments, Eastman has now integrated D’Ambrosio’s groundbreaking designs into their FullerTone SC'52 and DC'62 models. By moving production to China, Eastman has made these premium features more affordable without compromising quality.

The FullerTone SC'52: Simplicity Refined

The SC'52 is a single-cut marvel that exudes elegance and performance. Key features include:

  • Roasted Black Limba Body: Resonant and visually striking, this tonewood ensures warm, rich tones.
  • FullerTone Neck Design: Crafted for stability and playability, it’s a hallmark of D’Ambrosio’s innovation.
  • Tonerider Pickups: Featuring a Soapbar Humbucker and Noiseless Single-Coil for tonal versatility.
  • Truetone Satin Gloss Finish: Available in Ice Blue Metallic, Desert Sand, and Moss Black.
  • MSRP: Priced at £799, it’s an exceptional value for players of all levels.

The FullerTone DC'62: Versatility Elevated

For players seeking dynamic range and sleek aesthetics, the DC'62 offers a dual-cut design with standout features:

  • Roasted Black Limba Body: Ensures tonal depth and visual appeal.
  • Rosewood Fingerboard: Smooth and responsive for intricate techniques.
  • Custom Pickup Configuration: Combines a Tonerider Soapbar Humbucker with staggered Noiseless Single-Coils.
  • Floating Two-Bolt Tremolo Bridge: Allows expressive play with stable tuning.

A Legacy Continued
