They should call these the Westman series

[@im58woody]

All these designs look fresh and familiar at the same time. I think they sound and look amazing.

[@RByrne]

Very nice! Love the flush mount pickguards!

[@otaviosmartins1]

As a luthier, I can say that there are some very interesting and hard techniques on the construction of these guitars.

[@willemkerpel1]

Such as?

[@MrChrisPalmer]

They’ve bought a CNC router so much easier to conceive. I want to do that channel recessed fretboard thing that fender has been doing.

[@deaconddd]

The inset of that Pick guard into the body already is killing it from a forward think approach . Would really like try these.

[@bobdelair02]

❤ interesting design choises and a lot of craftmanship that goes into the making. Great guitars!

[@mikeaustin4138]

Really nice. The neck joint is very similar to what Tom Anderson has been doing for a few years now.

[@bassnsax]

9:50 Guitar version of the Dairy Queen Blizzard test! AMAZING camera shots in this video, and these guitars look and sound equally amazing! Time to start saving my pennies...

[@brunoantony9257]

these look nice

[@ivan_emege]

I really like that pine TeleChristian. Any thoughts about the necks profiles? Rolled fretboard edges would be the icing on the cake.

[@sweendog1]

I would love to see them do the double cut body with two p90s and a wrap-around or hardtail bridge!

[@mariodriessen9740]

Lekker bezig, Pepijn! 🥴🧡

[@realgoodmind]

Alright Eastman. Let's see

[@77pearcearrow]

If they make a jazz box, I want to play it!!!!!!!

[@chicagomusicexchange]

Not part of the D'Ambrosio line but we do have this Eastman AR503CE Archtop Classic currently in stock! www.chicagomusicexchange.com/products/eastman-ar503ce-archtop-classic-1319513

[@ChilonDamegetis]

Eastman AR503 and 803 absolutely slay. They also have the Frank Vignola and a few of the artist series. CME frequently offers amazing deals on these. You just need one, a flatwound setup, a Fender amp and some practice.

[@tituschalk]

Stunning guitars. Bit reminiscent of old Patrick Eggle designs. Wish a simple human could in any way afford these. But oh well!

[@TCMx3]

How wide (not thick/deep, wide) is the neck? I have the 55 double cut and it's an amazing guitar but the width of the fingerboard/neck is rough.

[@frantisca]

The shape of the double-cut reminds of Brian May's Red Special. Not a fan of the shape. Certainely very good guitars, hand-made in California with great appointements. Nathaniel makes them sound great too. Possibly for someone who wants to break with the usual Fenders/Gibsons and is ready to invest ~4 grand. I have doubts regarding an eventual resale value.

[@WysteriaGuitar]

Kinda reminds me of my old Peavey T-60 I had back in the early 80's...these are better though

[@SpnkyMcGee]

The Eastman US facilities are actually in the city of Pomona, California. Still LA County, but not in the city of LA.

[@sam127001]

Long tenon underneath the neck pickup ? pretty sure i've seen that before - not on a bolt on before but still..

[@chicagomusicexchange]

You are correct! The combination of long tenon and bolt on is what makes it unique. Thanks for watching!!

[@MrBungle222]

that song at 11:30 is awesome, what is that?

[@kungstu22]

Look Novo-y

[@RByrne]

Without the fake aging!

[@CW0123]

Idk why D’Ambrosio needs to team up with Eastman to make these guitars. They don’t use their designs or parts and he’s a boutique luthier so plenty of Wild wood and Wild West guitar stores to sell them.

[@Partybob1]

He says an actually a lot

[@ChilonDamegetis]

I dare you to say these have no soul.
