Eastman SB56 Vintage Satin Gold – NAMM 2026 New Release

The Eastman SB56 Vintage Satin Gold is one of the most exciting new electric guitar releases from NAMM 2026, and we’re delighted to confirm that we have stock on order and will be among the first UK dealers to receive them in the coming weeks.

Finished in a beautifully understated Vintage Satin Gold, the SB56 delivers classic single-cut styling with a modern Eastman sensibility. The satin finish is a real highlight — smooth, tactile, and effortlessly elegant, it allows the wood to breathe visually and tonally, while giving the guitar a naturally “played-in” feel straight out of the case.

At its core, the SB56 is built with solid maple top, solid okoume back and sides, and a solid okoume neck, creating a resonant, lightweight instrument with excellent balance. The rosewood fingerboard adds warmth and familiarity, making the SB56 immediately comfortable for players coming from both vintage and modern electric guitars.

Electronics are handled by a pair of Tonerider Vintage 90 pickups, delivering all the clarity, bite, and harmonic richness you’d expect from a great P-90 design — from articulate clean tones to raw, expressive overdrive. High-quality Gotoh hardware completes the package, ensuring tuning stability and long-term reliability.

What makes the SB56 Vintage Satin Gold particularly compelling is its stunning price point. Eastman have once again managed to deliver premium materials, exceptional build quality, and genuine tonal character at a level that seriously challenges far more expensive alternatives.

This is a guitar that feels purposeful, honest, and inspiring — and one that we expect to be in extremely high demand following its NAMM 2026 debut.
