Overview

Inspired by a legendary American model, the Eastone ST550R-MR-RW features an asymmetrical double-cutaway body, a bolt-on neck, and a 25.5-inch scale length.

A blend of traditional and modern craftsmanship for a rich tone

The roasting process not only enhances the wood’s appearance but also improves its stability, sustain, clarity, and resonance, protecting it from temperature fluctuations and humidity.
