About the Eastman T486 Thinline Archtop
The T486 is Eastman's 16 inch thinline: a double-cutaway semi-hollow body 1 3/4 inch deep with a solid center block, laminated flamed maple top, back and sides, and a three-piece maple neck set with a dovetail joint. The ebony board has a 12 inch radius, 22 medium jumbo Jescar frets and pearl split parallelogram inlays on a 24.75 inch scale, and the bone nut is about 1 3/4 inch (44 mm) wide. A Seymour Duncan Jazz in the neck and a '59 in the bridge run through two volume and two tone controls (CTS 500K pots) and a Switchcraft three-way switch, with a Gotoh tune-o-matic bridge, a Gotoh stop tailpiece and PingWell tuners. It is built in Beijing. Hardware is chrome on some and nickel on others.
Finishes are Classic, Goldburst, Red, Sunburst and Black, coded T486-CLA, -GB, -RD, -SB and -BK. Weighed examples come in at about 7.6 to 8.3 lb (3.4 to 3.7 kg). It comes in an Eastman hard case with a certificate of authenticity. The usual change owners make is locking tuners, most often Kluson, in place of the PingWell set; some have had a pickup replaced, with a Lindy Fralin or Seymour Duncan Seth Lover, or the two pickups swapped between positions.
