This is my Eastman El Rey ER1. I finally got round to buying an archtop and it's absolutely blown me away. Eventually I'll get a BK rewind on the Kent Armstrong pup to milk the last drop out of it.


looks awesome but... no bridge pickup???
Mule, MQ, Stockholm, CS, RY, MM, PK, ANB, CNB, AWP, CWP, PiG90...

Sorry for the delayed realisation / reaction to your guitar;  but as Dave said, I think that is gorgeous !  It looks even better in your photo - than the other pictures ( Ads ) I have seen.  I really love those Eastmans, especially with the wider nut and ebony fingerboard .  I prefer the 805 and the El Ray types - where the lower bout doest not jut forward too far.  

 Are you still enjoying it Choucas ?  :)

Yes I love it FF. It's a great guitar and Eastman's are pretty awesome value for money. All solid woods, handcarved back and front, superb build quality and the best case I've ever seen (fibreglass with sealed edges and made specifically for this guitar). All that for £885 new. There was £100 off for a ding I never found. Anybody with any interest in a hollow body should check out their fairly extensive range.

PRS Singlecut Satin, now fitted with Painkillers. Also put in GraphTech piezo saddles and preamp. Sounds huge! :) (clips later once everything's properly set up.)

I've got some nice axes but this one has to be my ultimate go-to-guitar. Equipped with Ceramic Warpig and JE1000 active circuit.

That one is tasty  8)

Looks like a Legra - and a Matt Bellamy inspired guitar - not sure what circuit lurks behind the Floyd though
