Eastman D'Ambrosio Series

Man that photo shop sea scape is corny as fuck !

Love the JM trem Tele gold foil. Sensual

That seascape makes me think of disabled yacht, lee shore, 40 knots of wind Horror!

Interesting... I checked mid-morning and it wasn't there. Must've just gone up!

Gonna be pricey, made in the US of A!

Yeah... maybe...

I expect they will be lovely; maybe even approaching the Novos they're so obviously inspired by. But I have to wonder how many more interpretations of Strats and Teles the world really needs.

Curved neck joint with two screws looks interesting.

Pickguard mounted jack can go f#*k itself…..

The neck joint will be superb. Tom Anderson do an angled version of it and once you've seen it, it's a blinding flash of the obvious. No sane person would ever choose anything else again. Think about it; the shape laterally braces the neck relative to the body and all the bolts have to do is pull it tight.

Interesting neck join. The recessed pickguard is a really nice touch, I reckon.

So whats our estimates on price, $3500+ USD?

I suspect they're gonna try and undercut Novo and Fender CS. Maybe even do a loss leading thing to establish themselves as a US brand. USD$2500.

Still getting over how bad the photoshop job is
Those ‘shadows’!?

I think those were renderings. I swear some of the JM photos were missing input jacks.

I reckon that's over thinking it a bit.

Maybe. It’s certainly got my attention. That neck looks nice and beefy too!

Initial reaction to the recessed pickguard was “cool”, but then I realise I won’t have anywhere to slip my picks….

And pickguard mounted jack can still GTFO….

I don't care for pickguard mounted jack either, not as strongly as you though. Thankfully it's not the one I'm interested in. Nor do I slip my picks under the pickguard.

Jeremy's right.
US$3700-$4000.
So not for us then.

After all my posts on the offset thread, I actually played mule's JM (ex-Bender?) and didn't get on with that body shape. This Eastman one looks interesting and somewhat promising though! Will have to find out if Musicworks is going to bring some in.

What JM is that one ?

MIM lacquer one... surf green with tortoiseshell guard. It was either ex-Bender, or yours. Can't remember what he said.

Yep, that’s my old one. Rad guitar!

Which is sad as I REALLY dig that one with the JM bridge and gold foils, maybe I'll find a neck and build a replica
