Meet the Eastman D’Ambrosio DC’54—a bold, boutique double-cut built with tone, feel, and craftsmanship in mind. Made in California with premium lightweight swamp ash and a roasted maple neck and fingerboard, the DC’54 blends vintage soul with modern precision. The hand-applied nitro lacquer finish and aged appointments give it a broken-in look and feel from the moment you pick it up.
Loaded with a full set of Lollar Special Vintage Blonde pickups—each staggered for tonal balance—you get clear, punchy tones that cover everything from crisp clean chime to gritty, expressive overdrive. The DC’54 also features a King Tone Switch, a clever little mod that adds extra tonal sculpting beyond the traditional controls. Engaging the switch subtly thickens your tone, adds harmonic content, and enhances midrange presence—think of it as a “sweet spot” enhancer built right in.
With Eastman’s patented long-tenon bolt-on neck system, sustain and resonance are maximized, making this guitar feel as alive as it sounds. Add in thoughtful details like a hand-cut bone nut, MannMade USA bridge, Gavitt cloth wiring, and a stunning custom finish—and you've got a true boutique instrument that begs to be played.
We’re proud to offer Eastman’s new American D’Ambrosio line, and the DC’54 shows just how serious they are about quality, tone, and player-focused design.
*The pickguard has a weird anomaly. Pictured, you'll see a line on the upper horn, but it only shows up from that specific angle—you can't see it when you're looking at the guitar straight on. (as you can see from looking at the photos). Doesn't affect the guitars performance, playability or looks for that matter, just something we noticed and wanted to point it out.
