Eastman Antique Varnish

With the Antique Varnish series , Eastman Guitars presents a range of instruments with a used look . The guitars are modeled on well-known instruments from the pre-war period and impress with their special optics and unique sound , which is in no way inferior to the historical models.

The Antique Varnish series has the right instrument for everyone: from western guitars in several body sizes to semi-hollowbody and jazz models to solidbody electric guitars, there is the right partner for every musician. The instruments impress even the most demanding ears with their soft and open sound .

The special sound characteristics are created by the finish with the eponymous Antique Varnish , a type of shellac that has been used on Eastman's violins since the beginning of the company's history. The painting process is very complex and takes longer than polyurethane paints, but the wait is worth it: the Antique Varnish finish is significantly softer and also provides a smooth finish softer sound. The thinner layer of varnish allows the wood to vibrate better and develops an open tone with the best sustain.

Each instrument has been stylishly aged by professional luthiers, none of them look exactly the same as the other. The Vintage leather-covered suitcases from the Antique Varnish series ensure the right overall picture.
