Romance Play - EASTMAN ROMEO LA

IF YOU’RE IN the market for a thin-line semi-hollow electric, there’s never been a better time to shop than the present. Whereas only a few years ago the selection was pretty much limited to large, double-cutaway 335-style models with a pair of humbucking pickups, today one can find semi-hollow guitars in a variety of body sizes and styles with a wider variety of pickup and electronic configurations.

The Eastman Romeo LA is one of the coolest concepts for a semi-hollow model that I’ve ever seen. Its asymmetrical compact body design makes a bold first impression thanks to its smaller, sharper treble horn with a deeper cutaway, but closer examination reveals several other distinctive details, including Seymour Duncan Phat Cat pickups and Göldo hardware. The end result is a guitar with a ton of personality and class that sounds and plays as cool as it looks.
