Bought an Eastman SB59 a little bit ago.
I am super pleased with the guitar (actually, Im kind of in awe over it, if that makes any sense. Sometimes I find myself just staring at it on the stand...) Her name is Sally. Say hello to Sally.....
If you've never tried an Eastman, you're missing out. Look at that top. Damn!
In any event, it has legit SD 59 pickups in it.
I love, love, LOVE the neck pickup.
I do NOT love, love, love the bridge pickup. Just seems too thin to me.
I get it they are supposed to be a pair, and matched and all that kind of thing, BUT.......I just really don't like the tone/thin squawk out of the bridge pickup.
Does anyone have any suggestions for a more "rounded, mid scooped" HB? Obviously, it would have to play nicely with the neck pu, but you see what I'm going after. Maybe a little jazzier sound, a little more rounded, less squawky, less shrill.
Anybody out there?
