Description: This T186MX from Eastman is a sophisticated spin on the classic ES-style double cutaway semi-hollow. Built from hand-carved, solid woods, this guitar has superior acoustic properties to its laminate counterparts, producing a warm, punchy tone. The flamed maple top on this T186MX is very responsive to touch, creating an enhanced feeling of physical connection with the instrument that is often only found in archtops and acoustics. For this reason, this guitar is a perfect choice for acoustic or jazz players who are looking to expand into electric playing.
The sunburst on this T186MX is one the best I've seen from Eastman, it is absolutely gorgeous! I love the way it enhances the grain detail on the maple top and how it really brings the mahogany body to life. In performance and aesthetics, this guitar is the ultimate marriage of sophistication and attitude.

These unique 1 3/4" deep instruments come with a choice of solid, hand-carved mahogany or maple backs with solid spruce or maple tops. The maple body guitars sport handsome gold hardware, 7-ply binding on the body, split block inlays and maple necks with ebony fingerboards. The mahogany body guitars come with chrome hardware, 3 ply bindings, dot inlays, mahogany necks and rosewood fingerboards. Both of these guitars come equipped with powerful Kent Armstrong Humbucking pickups that can slip effortlessly from a rich, woody jazz sound to a satisfying, crunchy, vintage rock tone that explodes out of your amp. These versatile guitars neatly span the distance between a fine hollow body archtop and the classic center block thinline model guitar.
