Eastman has unveiled the Romeo LA, a new variation of its acclaimed Romeo semi-hollow.
Like the original Romeo, the Romeo LA is built with a spruce laminate top, mahogany laminate back and sides, and a set maple neck featuring a 22-fret ebony fretboard with a 24.75-inch scale length. The neck joint also boasts a swept curve for additional comfort.
Sonically, the guitar is outfitted with Seymour Duncan Radiator Gold Foil P-90 pickups, controlled by three gold knobs.
Additional appointments on the Romeo LA include a Göldo TLT2N vibrato tailpiece – which, in an interesting touch, merges a stoptail design with a sprung vibrato – and a Göldo three-point Vario bridge with stainless steel saddles and Göldo locking tuners.
The Eastman Romeo LA will be available this summer – in a nitrocellulose Celestine Blue finish – for $1749.
