The Romeo California is a new variant in Eastman's successful Romeo series. In addition to the well-known Romeo LA, and the new Romeo NYC, there is now a new member in the family. Behold the Romeo California. As the name suggests, this model is inspired by sunny California in the USA. With its beautiful Goldburst finish, this Romeo gives a nod to the beautiful Gold Coast of this state in western America.
The craftsmen at Eastman used high-quality materials such as a laminated maple top with laminated mahogany sides and back, a maple neck, and an ebony fingerboard. The hardware is high-quality with a bridge and tailpiece from Japan's Gotoh, and locking tuners from Germany's Göldo. A pair of Bare Knuckle Old Guard Humbuckers provide a warm, dynamic balanced sound, perfect for blues and jazz, as well as rock and country guitarists.
Of course, the Romeo California comes with deluxe Eastman hard case and certificate.
