Eastman Unveils Juliet

Eastman has introduced Juliet, an all-new offset solid body guitar designed by Eastman’s head designer Otto D’Ambrosio—inspired by the popular Romeo series. Featuring a lightweight one-piece Okoume body, Juliet is sculpted for maximum comfort and playability, complimented by an inlaid pickguard to highlight the guitar’s gracefully carved curves. An all-new headstock reveals Eastman’s first in-line-six design, complete with Gotoh tuners and a matching stepdown relief.  A Schaller three-way Megaswitch in the upper-bout toggles between two Bare Knuckle BC Old Guard humbuckers or two Bare Knuckle Old Guard Low Wound P90’s. A three-knob configuration offers two volumes and one tone to dial in a diverse pallet of tone. Juliet comes in three unique colors to form the lineup, finished with either of Eastman’s Truetone or Antique Varnish signature finishes.

“We set out to create slab-bodied double humbucker and double P90 rock ‘n roll machines. We wanted to mash up some classics we loved since we started playing back in the day. Off-set body, raised center bar, but without sacrificing playability and comfort,” said Pepijn ‘t Hart, Eastman‘s fretted international sales and product development manager.

“Juliet is our vision of tomorrow, with an aesthetic planted in the past, emulating some badass 1970’s styling paired with the ergonomic advancements of our smart, player first geometry,” said Otto D’Ambrosio, Eastman’s head designer of fretted instruments. “At first glance, Juliet looks like it has always been here, but when it’s in your hands you’ll feel our future.”
