I've been advised by the experts I trust here that the Eastmans are modern sounding, and if you want an old Gibson type sound the higher end Loar models are the way to go.
Unfortunately I have had to rely on the experts, because I've only encountered lower end Loars, and never an Eastman locally. The lower end loars were not inspiring.
Since you mentioned electric and overdrive there are some things to consider. I have both a National Resotone and Resolectric Revolver. The Resotone can probably be found for around $1000 used. The higher end Resolectric? You know the old saying... Even used, if you have to ask, you better WANT it...
But Eastwood will get you in the door for a decent price...
