Eastman SB59V-GB (W936)

The Eastman SB59V‑GB (also called SB59/v‑GB — “v” denotes varnish) does come from the factory with a deliberate relic or aged finish. It is not meant to appear brand-new — rather, it’s styled to evoke a vintage, well‑played look. 

Finish Details

• The SB59/v‑GB features an “Antique Varnish” topcoat applied over nitro-based color coats, giving the guitar an authentically worn-in appearance from the moment it ships E

• Hardware such as the Gotoh bridge, tailpiece, and tuners are from their Relic Series, with aged nickel plating for added vintage aesthetic

• According to the owner community, the SB59/v finishes are intentionally light relic—and vary in wear intensity—crafted to feel like an instrument with decades of history:

Intentionally relic’ed at the factory—with a hand‑rubbed antique varnish finish and aged hardware—to emulate a vintage look and feel straight out of the box.
