This is just a tribute

I wanted to buy a special guitar with inheritance money as a tribute to my father. I’d looked at the full range of ES-335-type guitars and decided to try an Eastman. The guys at Richard’s were great and messaged me photos of the guitars in stock. I booked a session to A-B the T486 and T486B, having watched numerous online videos, especially those by Richard.

I own a Les Paul and the fit and finish of the Eastman are head and shoulders above that of the Gibson. A lot has been said about the quality of timbers of Eastman guitars and both those I tested were lovely, though the 486B had the edge.

It’s worth trying both the 486 and 486B as they sound quite different. The 486 with humbuckers is the smoother of the two but I found the 486B with P90s more immediate and “in your face”, very much like it comes across on Richard’s video. Just fabulous. The Bigsby makes it a noticeably heavier guitar, but the tone won me over.

The neck is a wonder - the nut is slightly wider than my Gibson, but after a couple of weeks I find that I prefer this. The ebony board is super-slippery and the profile generous.

Upon receiving the guitar there was a minor set up/intonation issue, but I dropped the guitar back and it was sorted within the day.

The helpfulness and cooperation of the guys at Richard’s has been first class through, and the guitar is exactly the tribute that I intended it to be. A very happy customer.
