Eastman Fuller-Tone Series SC, Ice Blue Metallic

This one hits that sweet spot between familiar comfort and clever modern design.

The Fuller-Tone SC ’52 feels alive in your hands — light, resonant, and full of that “let’s-write-a-song-right-now” energy. The roasted black limba body keeps things snappy and open, while the roasted maple neck gives you that smooth, broken-in feel the moment you pick it up.

The long-tenon two-bolt joint is the secret sauce here: more contact, more connection, more sustain. It feels a little like a bolt-on and a set-neck shook hands and decided to be better together.

Plug it in and the tonal spread is seriously fun. The soap-bar humbucker at the neck brings warmth and bloom, while the noiseless staggered single-coil at the bridge gives you all the chime and snap you could want — minus the hum. Clean, gritty, edge-of-breakup… it all works. And the premium pots and cap mean everything rolls off smoothly and musically.

Wrapped in satin Ice Blue Metallic with silver-anodized accents, it’s understated but confident — the kind of finish that looks even better under real stage lights than it does in photos.
