"What light through yonder window breaks? It is the Eastman and Juliet is the sun."

Although a brand new design, this Romeo LA absolutely excels at vintage tones. The Seymour Duncan P90 pickups (hiding under the humbucker-sized "toaster" covers" provide plenty of deep, rich twang while the fully hollow body lends air to the sound - and keeps the weight down to a very comfortable 6.1 lbs (2.7 kg).

The whammy bar system is a very sleek modern take on an old design and works beautifully alongside the locking tuners, both of which systems are designed by a company called Göldo (who we cannot pronounce).

The gloss finish is applied with Eastman's usual care and adds to the slinky playing feel.
