Eastman Electric Thinline - Truetone Gloss | Romeo-NYC - Black

Eastman proudly present the fully-hollow Romeo model, equipped with two extraordinary Psyclone Seymour Duncan Filtertron pickups. This particular creation has been a long-standing aspiration for Eastman, as they desired to incorporate the unique sonic character of the Filtertron pickups. These pickups offer a distinctive sound that sits somewhere between traditional humbuckers and P-90s, allowing you to explore a wide range of musical directions on a hollow body guitar. The combination of these pickups and the hollow body design yields a magical tone that has been exclusively associated with Gretsch guitars until recently. Fortunately, Seymour Duncan has resolved this limitation, paving the way for Eastman to embrace the Psyclones and integrate them into their exceptional instruments.

With its award-winning hollow body design, solid spruce top, and mahogany laminate back and sides, the Romeo NYC offers a captivating tonal palette that will inspire musicians of all genres.

The Romeo NYC features a free-floating 3-point Vario bridge and Göldo Les Trem, allowing for expressive vibrato and dynamic playing. This innovative combination adds a new dimension to the already beloved Romeo design. But that's not all - this guitar takes it a step further with the addition of Seymour Duncan Psyclone Filtertron pickups. These pickups deliver an array of sonic possibilities, from the twang of rockabilly and country to the soulful blues and the raw power of rock 'n' roll. The Romeo NYC is a true vintage rocker's delight.

Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, the Romeo NYC boasts exceptional playability and stunning aesthetics. The maple neck and ebony fingerboard provide a smooth and comfortable playing experience, while the 12" fingerboard radius ensures effortless navigation across the frets. The bone nut measuring 1.72" and Jescar FFW47104-P fretwire guarantee optimal string height and sustain. With a scale length of 24.75" and body dimensions of 14.75" x 1.75", the Romeo NYC strikes the perfect balance between comfort and resonance.

The Truetone Gloss Black finish provides a stunning visual appeal that is bound to turn heads.

The Göldo MGDBL33N Back Locking Tuners ensure precise and reliable tuning, while the nickel-plated knobs and Gotoh EP-A1 strap peg add a vintage touch.

The Seymour Duncan Psyclone Filtertron pickups are the heart and soul of the Romeo NYC's tonal versatility. These pickups capture the essence of classic vintage tone while offering a modern twist. The Göldo EL002 3-way switch and ivory switch tip allow for seamless control over your sound.
