Hi !
I’m selling this excellent modern take on the 330, made by Eastman. It’s really more of a “budget Collings” in terms of specs, the body is slightly smaller and more comfortable than a traditional 330, but the tone is absolutely there.
It’s a great guitar that I’m only selling to buy… a Collings 330.
Fantastic value for money, very responsive and dynamic instrument. The Lollar pickups are excellent, check out the videos below where I use it. Jazz, blues, rock, with a pick or fingerstyle, it handles everything effortlessly.
Specs:
- Neck Material:Maple
- Fingerboard:Ebony
- Fingerboard Radius:12"
- Neck Profile:Traditional Even "C"
- Nut:Bone 1.72"
- 1st Fret String Height:.022"
- 12th Fret String Height:Bass .078" and Treble .062"
- Fretwire:22 Medium Jumbo Jescar 47104
- Scale Length:24.75"
- Body Style:16" Hollowbody Thinline
- Body Dimensions:16" x 1 3/4"
- Body Top
eluxe Maple Laminate - Body Back/Sides
eluxe Maple Laminate - Center Block:No Center Block
- Truss Rod:Single Acting
- Binding:Neck, Body,

I haven’t listed it on Reverb, but I can do so if you prefer to go through that platform. I live in France.

Jean, you sound amazing!

Thanks Jack, that really means a lot coming from you!
-
Thanks, i mean it was *REALLY GOOD*. I actually started listening to it for the guitar but was quickly lost in your (and the band's) playing!

I don't think T49/V is the correct model # for this guitar. T49V is similar to the ES175.

Great playing, perfect sound and River Man is a wonderful song! GLWTS!

T49/V

I'm sure the OP will clarify. Nice guitar, whatever you call it.

Yes it was my mistake, thank you guys.
Actually, I own the older version of the T49, the AR371CE, which I upgraded with a Lollar pickup, it’s a fantastic guitar for the price as well. It's my jam/gig guitar that fears nothing. Some Eastmans really are absolute hidden gems.
-
I really don't know what tone you're after, but that Eastman sounds amazing...
Arnie...
-
Will a Collings allow you to play any better than that?
-
Thanks guys. Well, the i-30 I tried was a fantastic guitar. It is not four times better than the Eastman, but that's another league.
However, I'll stick with the Eastman for now.

It's still available?
