With its low-profile body and neck of lightweight okoume wood, the SB55DC/TV feels flawless over the shoulder, enriched with solid command thanks to Eastman’s staple Traditional Even C neck carve. Enhancing its ease of playability is an ebony fingerboard, tagged with 22 Jescar frets and pearl dot inlays for precise play from head to toe with total musical smoothness. Met with a real bone nut behind the first fret, the SB55DC/TV offers a natural responsiveness for your strings to bend, snap, and vibrate with true organic character. So whether you like to thrash about the stage or keep to yourself in the back corner, the SB55DC/TV is guaranteed to feel fantastic in hand.
The SB55DC/TV doesn’t complicate things when it comes to its sonics! Armed with a single Lollar Dogear P-90 single-coil pickup at the bridge position, the plugged-in performance of this axe is a delightful blend of unique tonality and utilitarian applicability. Characterized by its warm response and prominent midrange, you can riff, solo, and chord with the clarity of those classic, hefty ’50s single-coils. As a result, these P-90s open the door to a versatile range of genres, handling fluttery alternative patterns, heavier garage-esque progressions, and punchy blues-style solo lines with equal appeal. And to level a sonic response that really speaks your language, its onboard Tone and Volume knobs provide further detailing.
Beyond its shape and sound, the SB55DC/TV’s hardware harkens back to the days of yore by combining vintage charm and high-performance appointments to meet the demands of modern music making. Most notably, an assortment from Faber Germany! Down at the body, a super-sturdy TPWC compensated tailpiece fastens down your strings with the strength to accommodate all playing intensities. Backed at the headstock by handsome Kluson-style FKT33SBR tuning machines, the SB55DC/TV also exhibits stellar intonation dependability to outlast those lengthy setlists and rehearsals. Lastly, fine bygone details, such as black speed knobs and a tortoiseshell pickguard, give the SB55DC/TV the distinct personality to win the hearts of audiences and fellow musicians alike, wherever you play.
