EASTMAN EASTMAN!!
But seriously, i have a Eastman 805ce witch i modified a bit. I Replaced the pickup with SD antiquity humbucker, got a metal bridge and equipped the guitar with soundposts connecting the top and back.
Feedback is not a problem because of the soundposts, it is more "electric" sounding than the original witch is what i was going for but the character of the guitar remains.
Got it for 1200$ on ebay and spent around 300$ on the modifications and it beats my 5000$ Gibson semi-hollow any day. Both in terms of craftmanship, playability and tone. Although itīs offcourse not possible to compare so different guitars in terms of tone
