ROMEO
These are heady days for the Eastman Music Company. At the time of going to press, the brand had recently announced a strategic partnership with Bourgeois Guitars, while Eastman’s own recent output has served up more than a few slices of humble pie to those who still don’t believe a great vintage-style guitar can be built outside of North America. In addition, 2019 saw the launch of Romeo, an original design from master luthier Otto D’Ambrosio that sought to answer the question: “What would the Telecaster of the archtop-guitar world look and sound like?”
The R&D process that gave birth to Romeo took about two years to go from drawings
